Google for Newland Avenue Hull in Google Maps;
Use Google Street View to 'stand' on Cottingham Road at the top of Newland Avenue facing away from Newland Ave.
What you see is the Children's Home.
If you look at the area on the Google satellite view the road to the right of the homes is 'The Trees', built on the site of the bus garage in the last 10-15 years. Auckland Avenue, to the left, was the other boundary of the homes grounds. I would guess that the homes have not lost much of their grounds yet.
There is a large building in the bottom left hand corner of the grounds which is (was ?) the swimming baths where I too learned to swim.
