This location was actually the Coombe Orphanage for the longest time.. My Grandmothers friend used to live in Hespeler and remembers the building...

This house holds lots of dark times for plenty of young children from the age of 6-12. Including abuse and neglect.

It sounds as if the Coombe Orphanage closed in 1947:

I'd like to read the book about it.

"In 1917, the house was sold to the Children’s Aid Society to carry on as an orphanage known to locals as The Coombe. It closed in 1947 and is today a private home."

I had my hands on a copy of the book for a few weeks...

Quite sad, really.

If you wanted to read it I'm sure I could get it back.

It belongs to the same man who I mentioned in my original post.
