----------------FULWOOD--COTTAGE--HOMES--1940/50s----------

----------------------SPRING---CLEANING------------

 

AS WELL AS THE WEEKLY CLEAN-ONCE A YEAR THEIR WAS SPRING CLEANING,

WHEN THE ENTIRE HOUSE WAS FRESHEN FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.

THE CURTAINS CAME DOWN FOR WASHING--THE RUGS WENT ON THE --

WASHING LINE AND BEATEN TO GET THE DUST OUT.

THE BLANKETS WERE WASHED-- EVERYTHING WOULD BE CLEANED

AND SOME JOBS TOOK LONGER THAN OTHERS.

OUR FIRST JOB WAS TO MOVE ALL THE FITTINGS OFF THE WALLS

AND OUT OF THE DINNING ROOM, THE CHIMNEY WOULD BE SWEPT BY THE--

ODD JOB MAN AND THEN HE WOULD DO THE FIRE RANGE IN THE KITCHEN.

CLEANING THE CHIMNEY WAS A SMELLY JOB AND THE SOOT

WOULD GET ON THE KIDS CHEST COUARSING THEM TO COUGH.

EVEN THE HOUSE MOTHER WOULD GO OUTSIDE TILL THE JOB WAS FINISHED

AND SHE HATED THIS DISRUPTION OF SPRING CLEANING

<< BUT IT HAD TO BE DONE >>.

SOME LAD WOULD BLACK LEAD THE FIRE BACK AND ONCE THAT WAS DONE,

THE PAINTERS WOULD COME IN AND CKECK ALL ROOMS IN THE HOUSE.

DISTEMPERING WOULD BE DONE ON SOME WALLS ALONG WITH THE PAINTING

SPRING CLEANING WAS SPREAD OVER ABOUT TWO WEEKS ON EACH SAYURDAY`S.

SATURDAYS WAS AN IMPORTANT CLEANING DAY-- BEDROOMS AND THE HALLWAY

ALONG WITH THE STAIRS WAS A BIG JOB.

PULLING BEDS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM-- DUSTING THE SKIRTING BOARDS--

WASHING THE DOORS AND FRAMES , RIGHT DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS.

SUNDAY WAS A DAY OF REST AND ALL US LADS WENT TO FULWOOD CHURCH.

-------------------------------------------------------

ANOTHER SATURDAY CAME ALONG AND CLEANING CONTINUED,

KITCHEN AND BATHROOM FLOOR WAS SCRUBBED--<< ON HANDS AND KNEES I MIGHT ADD>>

( ALL THIS WORK ) YOU DIDN`T NEED TO GO AND KEEP FIT IN THOSE DAYS-

HARD WORK TOOK CARE OF THAT.

THE MOTHER KEPTED ON TELLING US LADS, WHEN IT`S ALL DONE

YOU`LL BE REWARDED TO A HOLIDAY AT THE SEASIDE << REDCAR-- SALTBURN BY THE SEA>>.

HOW EXCITED WE WAS TO HEAR THAT , WE WERE RUNNING AROUND THE HOUSE -

DOING THEM JOBS AND SINGING ALONG THE WAY.

//OH// WE DO LIKE TO BE BESIDE THE SEASIDE,

// MARSKE BY THE SEA --HERE WE COME // THEM KIDS FACES.--HI-HI

Hi there - I had a Grandmother who was in Page Hall Orphanage at the time of the 1911 census. Her name was Mabel Eva Thorogood and she was aged 9 at the time of the census. I'm not sure how long she spent there in total nor when she arrived or left.

 

Can you see her name in your Mother's Birthday book? Any news on Mabel and/or the Orphanage would be great !!

 

Thanks, Diana

does anyone have any info on an orphanage in chapletown in the thirties. I can not find any info anywhere

thanks

 

The building is on Lane End running up to Highgreen, its now a college offering computer training. Kids from there used to attend schools in Highgreen in the 50's and 60's when I was at school.

Thanks sputnik but it didnt even sink in,didnt expect it would.BRAINS

Hi everyone

 

I have just recently found out that my G-Grandmother (Annie Ward - b. 1890) was possibly an orphan somewhere in Sheffield. Unfortunately i'm not sure exactly where. Her brother John Alfred Ward (b. 1892) was also there.

 

As far as I know she was living with her grandparents during the 1891 and 1901 census' (aged 18 months and 11 years), so she must have moved to the orphanage sometime after that. She mentioned to my aunt that after she became and adult, she stayed on at the orphanage as a cook or possibly a matron.

 

When she was married in 1911 she was living in Darnall. Were there any orphanages located near there?

 

Thanks in advance
