brian1941 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) -------------FULWOOD--COTTAGE--HOMES---1940/50s--------- ---------------------- SOME--GOOD--HOUSE--MOTHERS.----------- IN THE VERY EARLY 40s MY SISTERS/ BROTHERS MOVED FROM THORNSETT LODGE A HOME FOR BABIES AND INTO FULWOOD HOMES. I REMEMBER BEING IN //NO13/ HOUSE WITH MY SISTER, THE HOUSE MOTHER WAS MISS SCRIMSHAW. I STOPPED AT MISS SCRIMSHAW`S TILL MAYBE AROUND I WAS AROUND 6YRS OLD PLUS THE MOTHER WAS EVER SO GOOD TO ME, I THINK IT WAS BECAUSE I WERE THE ONLY BOY THERE. ALL THE ELDER GIRLS HELPED THE MOTHER TO BRING THE YOUNGER KIDS UP. I CAN REMEMBER AT MEAL TIMES-I WOULD SIT IN AN HIGH CHAIR NEXT TO THE HOUSE MOTHER. THE MOTHER AT << NO12>> HOUSE WAS MISS WINTERS ALWAYS MADE A FUSS OF ME. WHENEVER I WAS OUTSIDE PLAYING, SHE WOULD GIVE ME SWEETS AND SOME TIMES SHE WOULD SHOUT FOR ME TO GO OVER TO HER`S, BUT I STRUGGLE UP THEM 3/4 STEPS AND THEY WERE VERY DEEP TO CLIMB UP. MISS WINTERS WOULD LIFT ME UP AND OVER THE STEPS AND GIVE ME A BIG HUG AND NOT FOR GETTING THAT HOME MADE BUN. I CAN REMEMBER MISS SCRIMSHAW SAYING TO HER, DOES THAT LAD LIVE AT NO12/ OR NO13. ANYWAY, WHEN I LEFT TO GO OVER THE BOYS SIDE, IT TOOK ME AGES TO SETTLE DOWN--WHAT WITH THE BULLY BOYS AWAYS PICKING ON YOUNGER KIDS. AFTER I MOVED FROM MISS SCRIMSHAW`S HOUSE,I DID`NT SEE MY SISTER AS OFTEN-BUT I DID MISS HER, I LOOKED UP TO MY ELDER SISTER AND SHE WOULD STICK UP FOR ME. SOME NIGHTS AT BED TIME I WAS LONELY AND I WOULD BE THINKING WHEN WOULD I GET TO SEE MY SISTER, I DID HAVE BROTHERS, BUT STILL FELT CLOSE TO MY SISTER. MY HOUSE MOTHER WOULD SAY TO ME,-WELL YOUR LIVING ON THE BOYS SIDE NOW--GET USED TO IT.<< HOW CRUEL IS THAT >> I THOUGHT YOU`LL NOT STOP ME SEE`ING MY SISTER. WHEN WE MANAGE TO PLAY OUTSIDE---<< DID YOU NOTICE I SAID MANAGE>> WELL I DID A CRAFTY ONE------ WHEN THE MOTHER SAID I COULD PLAY OUT-I WENT ROUND BACK OF THE HOUSES AND DOWN TO MY SISTER AT NO13. I COULD`NT STOP VERY LONG AS SHE MIGHT HAVE MISSED ME PLAY`ING OUT ON THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE. WHILE I WAS WITH MY SISTER AND IF ONLY TO CATCH A GLIMPSE OF MISS WINTERS TO SAY HELLO. IT MADE ME HAPPY AND SAFE JUST TO HAVE GONE DOWN THERE VISITING. << THANK YOU MISS SCRIMSHAW FOR BEING A GOOD`UN >> << THANK YOU MISS WINTERS FOR THE SWEETS AND THE BUNS >> -- << HEY MOTHER>> IF ONLY YOU COULD SEE ME NOW.

Hi Brian Miss Bull was still in #2 when I left in46, big & fat iron grey hair & looked like a bull ,she was the one would paste a lad for wetting the bed,I seem to remember this lad was pulled out of a bombed house so he got the paddle every day for over 4 years I say over because he was still getting beat when i left,my mother brought duck eggs each month I never saw one,always got slipped half a crown each month,apart from my run away money i don't know where the rest went sure didn't get any when we left. my two brothers were in #3 with Millner and many a lad was knocked out from her blows to their heads, looking back I know it was war time but no one asked why all the welts &bruise ,It as been said Hildrieth was OK but he must have been blind along with the teachers:rant::rant: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
