Hospital for Penitent prostitutes

This web site http://www.bartsandthelondon.org.uk/aboutus/prescot_street.asp suggests the hospital was, I assume originally, set up up at 9 Prescot Street Aldgate.
Then moved to Streatham where it is said have still some remains at 81 Drewstead Rd http://www.pikle.demon.co.uk/londoncross/londoncross27.html
However, http://www.ideal-homes.org.uk/southwark/main/borough.htm says it was just north of St George Circus (site replaced by Peabody bulidings) before move to Streatham.
The infamous Dr Dodd, executed for fraud, and acquantaince of the great Dr Johnstone, was associated with it and wrote an article about it. (bernard J Shapero rare books)
