Notes:
The Home of Hope for Friendless and Fallen Women was a refuge and rescue home founded in Sydney in 1883 by George Edward Ardill of the Sydney Rescue Work Society. From 1890 it was based in Giblin Street (Stanley Street) Camperdown and was a lying-in home for unmarried pregnant women who were waiting to give birth. It became South Sydney Women's Hospital in 1904.
South Sydney Women's Hospital became a major obstetric, gynaecological and nursing institution, which has an important role in the history of midwifery. It was taken over by the New South Wales Government in the 1960s and was closed in 1972. Latitude: -33.89422951487291, Longitude: 151.17352724075317
