Church Army Home, Wells Road, Bickley.
The Sister-in-charge has kindly furnished the following
report:—
" At the beginning of 1954. Denbridge House, which was
opened by the Church Army as a Mother and Baby Hostel, had
twelve mothers in residence, with their babies. Nine of these have
since left, some to the mother's own home, others to resident posts,
and one mother married the father of her child.
