Building homes for our neglected children, the story of Frank Brookhouse Dunkerley

Now I am back with the Together Trust and their excellent blog which focus on the work of the Manchester & Salford Boys’ and Girls’ Refuges.

The charity was set up in 1870 to provide a bed and a meal to destitute children and quickly expanded to become an important advocate for young people in the twin cities.

And today the blog has focused on the work of the Manchester Architect, F. B. Dunkerley and the work he did for the Manchester and Salford Refuges and Homes.

So that said I shall just direct you as ever to the site which tells the story and makes the links better than I could.
