I am so grateful for all your help, particularly for this latest info. on the house with the 'Barnardo Memorial Wing'.  I will be going into Google street view asap.

Thank you for your suggestions Valda.  What information I have is from Barnardos.  However, despite my mother being at the Shirley Home, they stated that they 'have no photographs or information about the Home in Shirley'.  Very frustrating.

Sorry, I am in Australia so don't have a good knowledge of the areas..... I have documentation from Barnardos that my mother was sent to the Girls Village Home in Barkingside in Essex for one month in 1916.  Then moved to the "Home at Wordsworth Road Shirley near Southampton. "  She stayed at this home until 1923, returned to the Girls Village Home before sailing for New South Wales.

My dilemma is that I can find no information or photographs at all on the Home where my mother spent her childhood.

Following the death of her parents my mother was placed in I believe a Barnardo Home, Wordsworth Road, Shirley from 1916 till 1923.  I can find no information or photos of this Home.

Would anyone be able to help me?
