    If this is Knoll Park, there are two threads devoted to it.

    Yes I think you may be correct Phil, (I need to check) but I think Knoll Park was previously St Gabriels. I have read the thread on here in relation to Knoll Park, and very interesting it is. Someone asked about St Gabriels on my little forum, so I think I will put a link to the thread in relation to Knoll Park for her.

    Thanks for your response

    (and yours Lindy)

    regards

    There was a Church of England orphanage in Windermere Terrace called St Gabriels. I think this closed in the 1960s and was bought by Belle Rive school. They sold it for redevelopment a few years ago and now it's converted into Luxury Flats.

    Attached is a photo taken whilst conversion work was in progress in 2006

    Default St Gabrials Knoll Park

    Hi Shielsy St Gabrials Knoll Park is on the corner of Beaconfield Road and Church Road in Woolton. It now looks after women with yound children and is no longer an orphanage. I was there with my brother and two sisters 1958-1963.. Hell on earth in those times. If there is anything I can do to help just drop me a line:

    If the link does not work then type in St Gabriel's-Knolle Park, (Orphange) Woolton and the group page will come up!
