Gravesend Orphanage , Kent: A memory of Gravesend

Gravesend Orphanage , Kent

A Memory of Gravesend.

My name is Richard Canham and I spent the first four years of my life here at the Gravesend Orphanage in Kent with my older brother Gary. Despite being very young I still have vivid memory's of this place. We were there from late 1959 to about 1963 I have some photos which I will post shortly. I live in Australia now and plan to visit the UK in 2016 I am very much hoping to visit this place as I have been told it is still standing today.

oh ricanham , DID you visit U>K in 2016 ? Shame if you didn't know of the chat site we have of St Mary's residents . AND , shame you were misinformed , the old and lovely St Mary's building was knocked down in 1972 . I think there was an 'old boys' final farewell in 1971 (which I did not attend ) , but get in touch with delvinjohnflynn@gmail.com or carolinewhitehead689@gmail.com . we would LOVE you pictures of St Mary's days . KOKO .
