Hospital of St Cross and Almshouse of Noble Poverty by quietpurplehaze

Hospital of St Cross and Almshouse of Noble Poverty

A request from one of my 365 friends to see photos in my collage of St Cross separately so this is the first: the entrance gate to the almshouse.

It was great to be back there and yesterday, another good day:12 weeks since I had my new hip and it was my final hospital physio appointment.

Ann, the physio, told me I have 'a beautiful scar' and said that it has been a pleasure watching me recover.

I had no inkling she would say any of that! But I am walking confidently indoors and suddenly feel just on the point of walking everywhere solo. A happy end to 2021.

Love this gate and the detail of the doors. Glad that 2021 is ending well for you and with good progress forward for the future.
ETA: I wonder if the spikes on top were to keep people out or keep people in.
