The Police Orphanage?

[Lindad]

My great grandfather was in the Metropolitan Police Force (as were lots of his siblings and cousins). When he and his wife died within six-months of each other in 1905, their two youngest children went into 'the police orphanage'. Does anyone know where this was? The family lived in the Hammersmith/Fulham area.

Oh, wow! Thanks Peter. Strawberry Hill is about three miles from here. I wonder where the orphanage was. I will have to do a bit more digging. Hadn't thought of using Google for this particular search! Stupid! :o
