My mum spent some time there in 1944 after her mother died. she was only there a short while before being evacuated. shortly after the children returned to the Orphanage the matron retired (or died) and they were all moved again to a children's home in Woodford. I took mum back to the Sevenoaks Home a few weeks ago but it is now a private home. I would love to hear from anyone with any memories of this orphanage so I can pass them on to my mum Many thanks Jo
