Hi Taeama,

Just in case you need it, this will give you a bit of background on one of them
http://www.institutions.org.uk/orphanages/GLS/ashley_down.htm

Funny thing is, they later used the buildings for the Ashley Down School, and guess who went to school there ??? 

 (Many years ago !  ;D   )

I drove past it recently, it's on Ashley Down Road, and it is now (all, or parts of, I don't know) part of the Bristol College (or something similar)

We lived in Bristol from 1950 to 1964.

The BBC1 TV programme, Casualty, is filmed at the college in Ashley Down Road I believe. So many of the outdoor shots may be familiar to you!
