Haddon Hall
Location
Great Western Highway at Hazelbrook
Woodford NSW
Australia
Provider: Sydney City Mission
Year Opened: 1950
Year Closed: 1967
Opened by the Governor of NSW, Sir John Northcott to house undernourished boys.
The boys had previously been cared for at the Mission’s Home – Stonehaven.
In 1959 the Sydney City Mission purchased Haddon Hall. In 1970, girls from the Home finished attending the local school, so it is assumed that the Home closed at the time.
