Thomas Coram Foundation for Children
The Thomas Coram Foundation for Children, London, formerly known as the Foundling Hospital, currently named the Coram Family, was founded in 1739 by the philanthropic sea captain Thomas Coram who was appalled to see abandoned babies and children starving and dying in the streets of London. In 1742-1745 a building was erected north of Lamb's Conduit Street in Bloomsbury. Boys were being housed in the West Wing of the new home. The East Wing was built in 1752 to house girls.
