'Heatherlands' Mother and Baby Home, Tunbridge Wells, Kent

The 'Heatherlands' Mother and Baby Home' occupied premises at 184 Forest Road, Tunbridge Wells, Kent. The property had been acquired by the Kent County Council in 1950. From around 1966, the running of the home is thought to have been taken over by the Rochester Diocesan Council For Social Work.
