st annes convent by lindarowan 15 February 2007any information about it5 replies Re: st annes convent by John Wall 16 February 2007Does this refer to what used to be a Convent at the top of Terminus Road and is now believed to be a building for workers unions or some such? Re: st annes convent by Andy Grant 16 February 2007Linda, Around the turn of the 19th and 20th century, the Sisters of the Poor Servants of the Mother of God, an order of Catholic nuns, set up a children’s home at 49, Buckingham Place, Brighton. Later to become known as “St Anne’s home for Invalid and crippled Children”, it was relocated around the time of WW2 to Mercia House, Landsdowne Road, Hove. There was a controversial battle when the nun’s took legal action to evict squatters from the empty property in the mid-1990’s. The convent still runs the St.Anne’s Day Centre for homeless men and women at the Fitzherbert Centre, Upper Bedford Street. Regards Andy Re: st annes convent by dave shelton 30 March 2007There was some kind of chapel in Terminus Road because you could see a ruined wall over the garden wall opposite Buckingham Road but it was not related to St Anne Convent which was in Lansdowne Road, now a Buddhist Centre. I used to work at the Convent with friends in a youth group and took some of the children who were cared for there out on Sundays, getting them treats and enjoyed trips to the park and the sea front. I also got invited to their Xmas parties and some Irish dancing parties there. Re: st annes convent by carmela 27 February 2008hi i was a resident there in the late 1970s when it was a childrens home it was a beautiful place, if i remember there was only about 20 or so children there i have very fond memories of this place & the sisters & staff were wonderful. Re: st annes convent/buddhist centre by peter whitcomb 21 July 2009If anyone is interested two ‘naturalists’ did a survey in 2008 of the birds, plants, etc found in this little wildlife oasis in the middle of urban Hove. Many butterflies have also been recorded during this year and last. The pond brings in dragonflies too. I have a copy of the plants found in a survey during summer 2008.
