I was in FCH From 1948 To 1954 can't remember a lot about it other than being in house 6 i think.

I clearly remember a boy climbing the railings at the back of the house posssibly to try and escape but became impailed on the metal spike!! anyone remember this.

Also the summer camps at Marsk/ Saltburn when we had new shorts, and sandals with crepe soles!!

Went to Lydgate Lane Primary school the one with the playground on the roof!!

Hi suffolk boy. I would have been a resident of FCH the same time as you (circa early 1950s). I tried to PM you but couldn't. Do you have a name? I was in Cottage #9 under the house-parent Miss (Rosemary) Bower.

 

Feel free to PM me your name if you'd rather.
