The orphanage was the brainchild of the Crossley brothers, Joseph, John, and Francis, who sought to alleviate the plight of poverty-stricken children in their community. The building was designed by renowned architect John Hogg, and in 1887, it was renamed Crossley & Porter Orphanage in recognition of a generous benefaction by Thomas Porter. The orphanage's Victorian and Edwardian architecture, with its ornate railings and intricate stonework, exudes an air of dignity and resilience. The institution's history is intertwined with that of the local workhouse, which was also established to provide relief to the needy.
