This web page confirms there was an orphanage on Talbot Road.

Sorry, can't find any other info.

Lancashire RO have confirmed 'Blackpool orphanage' is the one i want but have no records.  They say it was a private orphanage and the local services would not have any records.

Does anyone have any idea where i could find further info, nothing comes up on google!!

Dear Sara

Perhaps you could try the National Children's Homes site - www.nch.org.uk . They might be able to tell you who ran it or if any records survived.

best of luck
