FORMER LODGE, JEWISH ORPHANGE, WEST NORWOOD

Former lodge off Knight's Hill, built in 1861 to the designs of Mr Tillot for the Jewish Orphanage and Hospital. Originally part of one of the oldest Jewish charitable institutions in England which was founded in 1806 by B & A Goldsmid in Mile End as a orphanage and hospital. It moved to Norwood in 1861 when Mr Barnet Meyers gave this nine and a half acre site to the charity and the foundation stone was laid by Sir Anthony Rothschild. The orphanage continued until the children were evacuated during World War II. Photographed here on 15th January 2004. Digital image courtesy of Keith Holdaway, 2003.
