It is first shown on an OS map of 1934-5, unlabelled. A map of 1967-82 shows it as 'Hostel' with blocks immediately to the north labelled 'Adult and Youth Centre'. They have been replaced by The Triangle, a children-focused community centre operated by the Barnardo's charity https://www.facebook.com/barnardosthetriangle/ The hostel still sits alongside it on the same site off Coxwell Road; it may be residential accommodation for children who have been removed from their families.
