St Pancras Female Orphanage

It was later converted to a health facility and was used as an annex to the National Temperance Hospital.

The orphanage was established to care for female orphans in the local area in 1776.

[1] It was located in Hampstead Road where the foundation stone for premises completely rebuilt to a design by E. W. Hudson was laid by Lord Southampton on 28 January 1904.

[3] Following the closure of the National Temperance Hospital in 1990, the former orphanage became the home of the Margarete Centre which provides support to sufferers of substance abuse.

[4] The archives of the orphanage are now held at the Highgate Literary and Scientific Institution.
