Tips from locals
fascinating place now a museum but once had children here who were orphaned / waifs in the street from the 18th century through to the early 20th. Period clothes & Voice recordings of ex children
The Foundling Museum tells the story of the Foundling Hospital, London’s first home for abandoned babies established by Royal Charter in 1739.
A small local museum dedicated to the Foundling Hospital which looked after abandoned infants until the early 20th century. Many poignant exhibits, this was supported by Handel's charitable efforts.
