Description: The Roberts Centre (former St Faith's Institute and Mission Church), Crasswell Street, Landport, City of Portsmouth, England. This was built in 1903 as the Magdalen Institute: it was named after Magdalen College, which had "adopted" the nearby St Faith's Anglican mission church six years earlier. By 1911 the building was in use as a mission church itself as well for a time. The original mission church was destroyed by World War II bombing, so the institute was converted back into a church for a few years until the church was rebuilt on Charles Street, just round the corner, in 1955. Thereafter this building had various uses until it became an Anglican-sponsored homeless shelter and then, in 1996, a family centre. The Roberts Centre is a registered charity (E.C. Roberts was a benefactor).
