St John's Home For Convalescent Children, Kemp Town, Brighton

St John's was established in 1875 by Sister Jane Borradaile as a Convalescent Home 'for the use and relief of poor children recovering from severe illness, or suffering from the disease brought on by poverty and neglect, and requiring, through their thorough restoration to health, the benfits of pure air and nourishing food'. The Home could accommodate up to 84 residents - 12 boys aged 5-6 and 72 girls aged 5-15.

The Home was transferred to the Society 62 years later in 1938 and became St John's Convalescent Home.
