Thank for finding that information. I did do a brief internet search, but couldn't find anything. Looking at photographs of the orphanage, it seems a great shame that such a magnificent Victorian building is gone forever. Nowadays the building would probably be converted into posh apartments...
Sir Josiah Mason's Orphanage was - very sadly - demolished in 1964. But what about the mausoluem in the grounds where Sir Josiah Mason was interred alongside his wife in 1881. What happened to that? Is it still in situ & can it still be seen?
