• Walk along Duncan Terrace and turn right into Charlton Place...

 

Caroline Chisholm, who lived here at 32 Charlton Place was a progressive 19th century English humanitarian and philanthropist known as the ‘Emigrants Friend’ due to her involvement with female immigrant welfare in Australia.  ///frame.snack.zeal

 

She moved to Australia in 1838 and set up a shelter for new single women arrivals helping them to find work and somewhere to live. She later extended this work to cover families, and between 1841 and 1844 assisted over 14,000 people to settle in New South Wales. She returned to England in 1866 and died in 1877.

 

She also founded the Family Colonisation Loan Society which lent migrant families the funds needed to travel to Australia sometimes on specially chartered ships. 

 

A number of educational establishments in Australia and England are named after her and Chisholm’s image has appeared on Australian stamps and banknotes. 

 

• At the top of Charlton Place turn left into Camden Passage and into Islington High Street…
