Newland Homes, Cottingham Road, Kingston Upon Hull

This complex of orphan homes and other buildings was built around 1897 by the Port of Hull Society. They were designed as Cottage Homes for sailors' orphans. There were 12 homes arranged in a planned model village. The money was endowed by various benefactors whose names are attached to the different buildings. This building was formerly known as the Joseph Rank Sanatorium. It dates from 1898 and was paid for by Joseph Rank to act as a hospital for the children. In the 1960s it became Captain Allison House, a residential home for retired Seafarers. This closed in 2001. In 2004 the Trustees sold the Newland Estate except for the school.
