Sheltering Home

The sheltering Home for Destitute children, Myrtle Street, established in 1872, was first carried on in Byrom Street, but in 1889 entirely new buildings were erected in Myrtle Street; these are of brick and comprise on the ground floor a spacious entrance hall, superintendents office, childrens mess rooms, kitchen, school room and lavatories, and on the floors above are dormitories and officers quarters: Attached are two playgrounds:

The object of the home is to afford to boys and girls who have lost father, mother or both parents, elementary education, scriptural instruction and a short industrial training, and then to provide homes or situations for them in Canada; Girls are admitted between the ages of 4 and 16, and boys between 10 and 16, upon the approval of the superintendent, without votes or other interest, and the home is entirely undenominational;

Any person wishing to introduce a child can either send it to be seen or write to the secretary;
Cases are investigated every day (except Sunday) between 11 and 4 o'clock;

This institution is wholly supported by voluntary contributions; the cost of training, out fitting and emigrating a child is £10, and as the home is established for Liverpool children, it is necessary, when a child is received from other parts of the country, that the sum of £10 to cover the expenses shall be provided by the persons interested in the case; already nearly 3,500 children have been emigrated after a very careful training in the home, and 95 per cent are found to have done well;

Stephen Williamson esq., M.P. Chairman
John J. Keller, 18 & 19, Mellor's buildings, hon. treasurer.
Mrs Louisa Birt, secretary and superintendent.
