The complex formerly known as Newland Homes, designed by W.H. Bingley, was built 1895-1902 as the Port of Hull Society's Orphan Homes. Twelve grey brick houses, named after benefactors, are sited around a large open green with a sanatorium and St Nicholas Primary School at the northern end. The Port of Hull Society changed its name to the Sailors' Children's Society in 1950. In 2004 the Trustees took the decision to close the Children's Services and sell the Newland Estate. Agreement was reached with the City Council in 2006 to lease St Nicholas School buildings and some surrounding land to the Council. The Dr. C.A. Lee Home opened 1897.
