Dorset Home Industrial School, 32 & 34 West Street, Poole

The school was established at 32-34 West St, Poole in 1864 when Rev. Carr Glyn purchased a large old home and leased it to the trustees for a nominal rent. Its purpose was to train girls for domestic service.

It had numerous rooms, a large dining room, a new laundry and a garden with views of Poole Harbour. The Home was certified as an Industrial School in 1872 and as an Auxiliary Home halfway house for older girls in 1916. It also admitted boys under 8 years from 1923.

St. James Church Baptisms records show that Rev. John Archibald Lawson or his curate conducted a number of Baptisms on one day in November each year 1899-1905. Rev. Lawson died in 1905 and his replacement continued with the Baptisms in November 1906.

The 1901 England census for the Home lists 75 student boarders aged 9-15 in the care of Matron Annie Irwin Johnstone who was matron 1898-1903, Alice Turner assistant matron, Agnes Lane house matron, Louise Homer head school mistress, Mabel Emery assistant school mistress, 2 laundry maids and 3 kitchen maids.

Also in the area were the Industrial School for Training Young Girls for service at Blandford, the Cripples' Home and Industrial School and Female Refuge in Dorset Square and Blandford Boys' Industrial School.

In 2020 Dorset Home at Coles Avenue, Hamworthy is an assisted living and dementia care home.
