Virtual Tour - National Children's home

You've made it to the National Children's Home formerly on Alexandra Road, but now the site of Wetherby Gardens after its demolition in 1982. Further information about the School's history is available from Missing-Ancestors.com. Visit the School days gallery to see more photos relating to life at the National Children's Home. Where to now? To the South are Netley Street and Queens Road, with busy Lynchford Road a little further down. Nearby to the North, further down Alexandra Road, is Ferneberga House, the site of the old town hall and St. Mark's Church. For the full list of locations nearby, pick where you want to go next from the menu on the right.  Take a look at images 1-2 and 5 for authentic 'now and then' comparisons.
