Hi Thursday

Don't want to plunge you into the Internet too deeply at this stage, but I bought my copy of the book for a couple of pounds on eBay, so it's worth a look. To be honest, there's only the last few pages of the book about the Fulwood Cottage Homes. If you can't get hold of a copy I don't mind copying the relevant stuff and PM'ing or emailing it to you. Let me know if that would help.

Regards

Algy

Hi all my grandfather was in fulwood cottage homes from 1910 until he was apprenticed to a cobbler in huddersfield when he left. He hardly ever spoke about his time in the home and it was only after his death that his best friend told us what he had gone through and he apparently had an horrendous time in there. He had terrible scars all over his body that looked like whip marks and he was also scalded very badly whilst in there, he suffered all his life from blackouts and fits and his friend said this was due to what he had gone through. Things did not get any better when he left for huddersfield as the man who hw went too was also very cruel to him, so much so he left and walked bare foot from huddersfield to stocksbridge where he collapsed in the street and the friend mentioned above found him and took him to their home and he stayed with them until he married my gran. I have always wanted to find the truth of why he was in the home as far as we know his mother died in 1917 and have no idea what happened to his father, I think the story of the homes should carry on as at the end of the day it is a part of our history too.
