Taking the name of the property it occupied, Mount Hermon at 30 Ashburnham Road, Hastings, the Mount Hermon Home for Girls was established in 1886 by the Hastings Ladies’ Association for the Care of Friendless Girls. The property was also known as "Mount Hermon Training Home for Servants".

Accommodation was provide for up to 18 girls, aged 11 to 17, who through the loss or neglect of their parents were unprepared to earn their living. There was a charge of 2s. 6d. a week made for girls from the local area, with those out of the area paying 4s.

Circa 1905, after merging with the Brixton Girls’ Protective Home, the institution became known as Hastings Ladies’ Association and Girls’ Protective Home.

The property was replaced with a block of six flats in 1961
