Hi,I worked at Mortimer house as an nursing assistant from 1994 to 1998.it was a home for adults with learning disabilities and many level of nursing needs.a wonderful place.In the 1700s it was lady mortimers home and i belive the mortimer family made their fortune from suger plantations . At the beginning of the 1900s it was a type of home for wayward boys.ww2 it was used as a hospital,unsure if this was for soldiers or civis.then Mortimer maternity hospital.when I worked there many staff were affaid of the attic room,this was a small box room on the third floor we used for storage,it was extremely spooky.one day two older ladies knocked on the door claiming to have been midwife's, they mentioned about the haunted attic room.doing hourly checks on a night shift was terrifying. 😱
