You are correct the premises is called Clements Hall and was once a childrens home for Dr Banardos. Unfortunately the premises is lived in but it appears to be in a poor condition and not the pretty property that you remember as a child. You describe it perfectly as I remember it as a childrens home too as I was born in Hawkwell. The property lies at the N E corner of Clements Hall Playing fields and can be reached by car via Victor Gardens driving to the very end and the property is on your right. The last part of the road is unmade but suitable for cars.

You maybe interested in a book that is in print and written by a former child of the home by the name of Ruth Jones. The title is An Improper Daughter published by Cape Catley Ltd. It is available online but not on Amazon.

I also have photos of the home as you remember it and in its present condition. I will find them and post on here at a later date.
