This historic children's home, originally based at Stockwell, was established with the noble intention of providing care and education for orphans and children in need.

The winding paths and interconnected buildings are a testament to the thoughtful approach taken by those who founded and ran the institution. Spurgeons Homes, which opened its doors in Birchington in the late 1800s, played a significant role in the social welfare of the time. The organization's commitment to the education and wellbeing of its residents was unwavering, and the homes became a beacon of hope for countless children who were without families or support.
