The Northumberland Village Homes for Girls, at Whitley, Near Tynemouth, 1883. 'The Homes were started, three or four years since, by a Newcastle merchant, Mr. James Hall, who took a leading part in the establishment of the Industrial Dwellings in that city, and of the Wellesley Training-Ship for Boys, which is stationed in the Tyne. Those boys were admirably well cared for; but for the like destitute class amongst the girls there was no corresponding provision...At the close of June, 1880, the first of the girl "Waifs and Strays" was received into the new Home, and the work of training and teaching them, partly carried on in the National School of the village, has been continued with good success. A new school has since been erected in the grounds. Before the first house was actually filled, it was found that another was wanted; and now, four handsome blocks, containing eight houses in all, are hardly enough for the little ones under the care of the various "mothers." The grounds around are bright with flowers and planted with trees, and the sea is within five minutes' walk...all the girls are treated as a God-fearing, wise woman would rear and train her own little ones...The architects are Messrs. Oliver and Leeson'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
