:help:I am researching my family history and believe there was a childrens home at 401 City Road, Sheffield around the 1920/1930's. Does anyone know where I would get info about this?

:help:I am researching my family history and believe there was a childrens home at 401 City Road, Sheffield around the 1920/1930's. Does anyone know where I would get info about this?It was called the SHEFFIELD GUARDIANS CHILDRENS HOME [NO17] the cemetery was next door then at 521 was home no[20] then at 523 no[21] .

The archives may have information they are on Shoreham St.

My mum who has lived round that area most of her life often spoke of it. I believe it was split into boys and girls houses. I dont believe it was an ideal place to end up, indeed, today's versions aren't either. My mum knew a lady who lived in one of the houses when it had ceased to be a childrens home.

I attended Manor Council School on City Rd from 1927 I remember "Homes children" in my class but I think the house they lived in was up Manor lane. They were no different to any other kids
