Children's homes or orphanages in Sheffield


Recommended Posts

Glen,

I will be nice to all but, I expect the same in return.

I use both of the wisdoms.

First, I turn the other cheek.

If that doesn't work, then it's an eye for an eye.

The Bible told me so.

So where were the babies housed?

 

Baby was housed at Thornset Lodge ,went on a short van ride to visit my sister, i think twice because this was stopped due to war time petrol ration,I seem to remember they moved to F.C.H at 3 or 4,if my foggy memory is right Roy Lindsey was the youngest we had in #2 he was about 3-4 in 1941ish

I've been looking on this thread for 3 years now & there's been so many who contributed in the past & have now vanished,I think that just maybe the raking up of old wounds while helpful to some,others find it a little painful.

HI FLYER .I AGREE WITH YOU IN ONE WAY ,BUT I TELL YOU THAT TALKING ON THIS FORUM ABOUT MY TIME IN 17 HAS HELPED ME TO GET EVERYTHING OF MY CHEST.I FEEL MUCH BETTER FOR IT NOW SO THANK YOU TO ALL

Actually, this thread didn't start out as one for FCH but it 'evolved' into one as more and more responses were posted.

 

Unlike you some of us enjoy having a winge.

 

:DYes, I agree. A 'gripe' about something every now and again helps us to bond with other 'gripers'.

 

Shouldnt this last post been sent as a private message ???

 

Yes, it would seem so. It was addressed to Tommy and Mary. It's as though we're evesdropping. :)

 

By the way, what songs do you recall from your FCH days? I gave a few of my song memories some posts back.

Theres no place like home.( not meaning anything by that because it wasnt a happy place was it.)Thats just a song i used to sing on the concerts in the big hall.I cant ever remember hearing a radio.How dull.Where is the proper f.c.h.site ? i might want to have another gripe.Are you online?

hi tommy/mary,

did you remember the family favourites radio show in f,c.h 1940/50s.

i know it came on at sunday around 12 midday till 2-oopm,

we would miss about 3/4 hour of the radio, as we all had fulwood church to attend.

that big hill to climb on the way home.

sunday dinner would just be served up when we got back,---hey---them yorkshire

puddings and them songs on radio and all us sat round that big table.

//yes// 14 of us sat round that table, //ho// and the house mother at the top.

hey--what about them ice cream for deserts, but she made sure you had eaten

your dinner first. she would send one lad up to the office to collect the ice cream,

that was done in turns every sunday,---i use to dread it when it was my turn--

because i would miss the record charts on the radio.

some times they was a spare ice cream or two, as someone didnt want theirs.

//phew// i feel full now with all them puddings and ice cream,

i will be back when i have rested mi tummy--- phew ---
