Bathroom Corridor passenger Dining Room at NikkoA corridor in the novitiate building of the former Lewisham Hospital, Convent and Grounds, photographed in 2019. Peeling paint and faded floor tiles record the slow deterioration of a passageway that once connected the domestic spaces of a working religious community. The Little Company of Mary operated the Lewisham Hospital complex from 1889 until 1986, nearly a century of continuous care. Part of the Lewisham Hospital series.
