Administrative / biographical background

This council children's home was originally built as a 'small family home' on the Brandwood Park Estate. In the late 1960s it was extended into the house next door (no. 10) to make one large unit. In 1988, due to overcrowding, the home was moved into no. 7 Chamberlain Road.
