Summary[edit]

Description
English: Gateway to Another World I believe this was the entrance to the convent of the Good Shepherd Sisters on East End Road, though current road access is via the same entrance as the Carmelite Friars further along. The convent on this site has a dark history. Founded around 1873, it was originally one of the Magdelene Asylums where women spent large parts of their lives laundering for schools and prisons and were abused. The trade died out with the wide availability of washing machines from the 1960's. Much of the original convent was burned down in the 1970's and became the site of the Thomas More estate and Bishop Douglass School. Information from The Archer, May 2003.
