The Uniting Church Achivist, Daryl Lightfoot, may have more information on Dalmar. Phone 9683 3147 Mon, Tue, 4th Sat. By the way, the Uniting Church Records & Historical Society operates from Eskdale,a former Burnside Home, 3 Blackwood Place North Parramatta - some Presbyterian assets were transferred to the Uniting Church following union. Burnside Homes, run by the Presbyterian Church, operated on both sides of Pennant Hills Road. The first Home, Blairgowrie, opened in 1911 and is now a Museum. The Redeemer Baptist Church now owns the buildings and land on the western side of the road and conducts a school on the site. Uniting Care Burnside still operates on the eastern side. For more information on current activities and their Museum see www.burnside.org.au The Church of England Children's Home, Minden Hall, had been established in 1914 on the eastern side of Pennant Hills Road, north of Burnside. In the 1920s it was used exclusively for boys but eventually became a Home for Girls. A new Church of England Home for Girls on Pennant Hills Road and the western corner of Gibbons Street was built in 1929. The site is now a training college for the Church of Christ. In 1927 a new Home for Boys was founded on an 8.3 acre property on Pennant Hills Road and named Buckland Home after its benefactor Sir Thomas Buckland. In 1928 three more homes were built on this property. These buildings are all owned and used by the Church of the Latter Day Saints. -----Original Message----- From: Diane [mailto:dianep@optushome.com.au] Sent: Thursday, 28 November 2002 9:32 AM To: AUS-NSW-HILLS-HAWKESBURY-HUNTER-VALLEY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [H,H,HV] Fw: Digest V02 #290 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Madeleine Juchau" <ml.juchau@uws.edu.au> Subject: Re: AUS-NSW-HILLS-HAWKESBURY-HUNTER-VALLEY-D Digest V02 #290 > I used to teach at Cumberland High School at Carlingford, and recall > that we had children at this school who came from at least three > different homes.
