I think that if you look at the picture of the polar bear which I use to this day the orphanage was to the next building to the left?

Gosh thanks for the prompt reply.I am still living in the area and remember the building before it was knocked down. I will try and get a picture but local information was the building which was demolished some time ago and became a government building was the site of the orphanage origionally.
If you have further info I will look into it.
Also there are records held by Hull City Council archives, which I have seen once and could look at again

Regards
