CONTEXT
Administrative/Biographical history:
There was a proposal in 1899 by Miss Nott Bower, Matron of the Hospital, that a Babies' Home should be established for the children of the women who worked in the Laundry Hostel and elsewhere in the Hospital. A property known as "Shelford", 182 Devonshire Road, Honor Oak was purchased and the Home, known as "the Haven", was opened in November 1899. Miss E.H. Fullager was appointed Lady Superintendant in 1900. The decision was taken to close the Home at a meeting of the Council of the Children's Home on 15 January 1908, after the resignation of the Treasurer, Mrs Wells.
