Photo 6x4 Former Convent in George Street, Wolverhampton The Sisters of M c2010

Photograph Notes: The Sisters of Mercy Convent was built in 1858. The much newer building attached to it is reasonably well chosen in its architecture so as not to detract from the appearance of the historic Victorian building. The Sisters of Mercy came to Wolverhampton in 1848. They opened five elementary schools and trained pupil teachers. In 1858 they had this convent built on Snowhill, which was the centre of their work looking after the poor. (Information from ://localhistory.scit.wlv.ac.uk/articles/VictorianBuildings/Churches2 )
