I remeber Nazareth House as being in Commercial Road. It seems probable that there was more than one place by that name, perhaps all connected. How long had the lady been a widow? She might have decided to enter the convent after her husband died. Margaret (in sunny !

Hi Margaret. I agree with you. My memory seems to go for an area of Commercial Rd, opposite Charles Dickens House possibly behind Mile End boys school. I think the Nuns had access through an alleyway. Albeit, I don't recall any signs displaying Nazareth House.
