I never knew this street in Glastonbury existed till I noticed a plaque by the entrance, I just had to see what was down there.
This was the St Mary Magdalen Hospital then later the Royal Almshouses, they date back to before 1322 by 1958 they had become derelict. The town council and trustees gained permission from the charity commission to demolish part to build flatlets for old people (Beyond the far wall) and restored the garden and buildings on the right.

Nice photos!
An interesting place to visit. A new one for me so need to put it on my list.
Hi Bill....very cool photo...the second is my favorite !
Greetings
Thanks Brigitta, the garden width is only about 4 meters wide so was not easy to photograph how I wanted.
I deleted your other post, did not think you wanted two the same. A great place to visit though I still have to go round the abbey (been once). The Tor is a must if you go there, the views are astounding on a good day.
Mine too but I had to leave it till last.
Interesting what all we find on exploring. Great shots!

Such a beautiful place to visit.
Yes I love finding places like this
They are and well worth visiting
It was and the chapel was so peaceful but I still have to show that
A lovely little garden, and I hope the pensioners are able to get out and enjoy it.
I think they do, there is a gate leading to it.
It's simply gorgeous, Bill! Thank you for sharing this with us :)
That was my thinking when I first saw it. Glad to see you back
How beautiful and picturesque.
They were my sentiments on seeing the place as well, thanks for visiting
How I would love to go walking in this garden. So serene and beautiful. genie
It is and I could have stayed a while but had to get off
