Southwell House Newstead Grove. Nottingham

I believe the above address was a probation home for girls, does anyone know what the house was used for in 1913.
Any help gratefully appreciated

That site mentions that it was a Magdelen Home?

See: http://www.childrenshomes.org.uk/MH/

In 1913 it was a temporary rescue home for fallen women: The "Temporary Rescue and Preventive Home" per the Englishwoman's Year Book for 1914. 16 Newstead Grove.

My husbands grandmother listed this address as working as a domestic assistant on his mothers birth certificate in 1913 she was an unmarried mother.

Childrenshomes says it was opened "before 1912", had 13 places, and was for "Fallen girls; Preventative; Probation Act and prison cases from Nottingham"

There are many favourable newspaper articles about Southwell House circa 1913

I don't suppose there is lists of girls that were living there

There's the 1911 census - probably a bit early for your needs:
