More Information [close]
Longmore Hostel opened in October 1982 within the grounds of the Longmore Remand and Assessment Centre. In September 1983, Longmore Hostel became part of the Longmore Training Centre.
According to the annual report of the Department for Community Welfare, Longmore Hostel ran a short-term training program to help young people from Longmore 're-adapt to community living'. Between October 1982 and June 1983, 35 young people were admitted to Longmore Hostel. As the Longmore Training Centre housed boys, it is likely that only boys were admitted to Longmore Hostel.
From 7 March 1985 the hostel became known as Collier House.
