Sunderland Street, Cottage Homes

Children's Home for orphans who had lost their parents in World War Two. 12 boys and 12 girls lived there in the 1940s. The boys and girls were looked after by a 'mother' and the home was run by a matron. Next to the children's home was a farm, a piggery, laundry and a hospital (the workhouse HER 6055). To the west was Stocksfield Terrace. To the south was the Lake (HER 7851). Presumably the home was demolished to make way for the A690 and Hillside Way.
