An error occurred while saving the comment Kay Howard commentedThe Haven 42 crystal palace park road
I am looking for information on what was a childrens home run by the salvation army. Its entrance was situated originally in crystal palace park road number 42. I cant find any photos of that building before it was knocked down. It was build in the 1800's and was i assume part of the lush houses built oposite the crystal palace park road entrance to the crystal palace. It was huge house and had a cottage situated in its grounds. I am told it was knocked down and rebuilt due to subsidance and has been replaced with a new building also called The Haven which is a childrens home.
I would imagine it was in the news over the years and seeking help tracing its history.
It had a huge garden and behind it was an old peoples homes to the left.
Its entrance was lined with lots of fir trees and there was an old bunker there too which we were always told was for the war.
Does anyone have any information
