Montagu House
Montagu House was opened in September 1956 as a Dr. Barnardo reception home. In 1960 it became a mixed home housing 20 children. On July 1972 Montague House closed down along with most of the old home, some of the children went to Glenfield Frith Hall.

It was reported that Montague House was demolished to make way for a new housing development which in turn had removed a tangible part of the history of those who had lived within Montague House. This in fact is not the truth, the house is still in existence.
