ripon street Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 If been reading whats been said about how the children were treated in fulwood cottage homes . If any of the staff responsible are still living, they should be dragged before the courts and be made to pay for their actions. My brothers and sister were in the homes during the late 50s early 60s.All these years they never spoke about their time there. Would love to hear from anyone who remembers them. Their names are TOMMY...NEIL....RONNIE AND MARGARET KEENAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark135 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Hi, anyone remember my mother Florence Layberry or brother Reginald Layberry, both in Fullwood. Not sure of date, must have been 1940 ish. She eventually became a house mother, but never really spoke of the time she spent there(now i have an idea why). Also anyone know a Terry Jennings. Sadly my mother has passed away and Reg has just been admitted to a care home with dementia. However he still recalls his time in care, so i am hoping to learn a few stories and maybe sort some old photos out for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeG Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 One thing I did notice about the FCH pupils at Lydgate Lane 1949-1954 was that they loved the school dinners. I thought they smelled of aluminium and were not at all appetising. I'm only guessing but wondered if the food was so rough at FCH that the school dinners were in fact, a bit of a treat.

gmarshman Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I attended Lydgate Lane School 1952 to 1956, and well remember FCH children. I did not realise the alleged abuses that were being carried out in those days, dont remember any complaints , I personally got on with them well . Mike G comments from Hawarden , not far from Wrexham where I live and wonder what years he attended Lydgate , under head Peck ?
