Silverlands House was built in the 1800s and has had a rather interesting history. It was a private home, an actors orphanage and a nurse training school. The training school finally closed in the 1990s.

In 2001 there were plans to turn it into a clinic for convicted paedophiles. Needless to say, local residents protested against it, what-with it being so close to local schools. During the protests, the house received a £3million refit for it's new role. But in 2002 the protests paid off and Parliament decided to end the conversion. It has remained empty since then...

    WOW!!

    The architecture is very extravagant. I would love to live here. Looks like it would make very nice upscale apartments or boarding house. Possibly a nice small college also.
