Summary

[Taken from the New South Wales publication Connecting Kin: Guide to Records]

St Christopher's Home for Little Children was originally located at Lochinvar in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales in a residence called 'Clifton'. This property was given to the Newcastle Diocese in 1927 by Mr Ernest Clift for use in connection with the work for children, together with an endowment of £300 per annum. The Home was officially opened on 1 December 1928, but was open to receive children from 1 September of that year. It was relocated to new premises at Taree, which were officially opened on 18 March 1956. The Home closed on 31 December 1978.
