brian1941 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 hi, got your mail--you were right about the homes, there are scatterd homes around sheffield. one of my younger sister was in, i think it were near southey green sheffield 5. i not sure when cottage homes closed down,but thats when scatterd homes began. some years later they reopen cottage homes, and it was a girls home for the bad once. they named the home as moorside.anyway then that closed and now today, it is a private houes-ing. i still go to have a walk around in the summer,loverly old times--well bye for now. bri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
