Aries. I used to live in a reception centre in Dore in the late 70's and we had a lad there called McV (bright ginger hair!) who was moved to Todwick and would have been about 12 at the time. I myself went to Stradbrooke and stayed there until 1981

Yes, that's the one. We were all moved out to accomodate a really weird family that only went out at night and the picture in the Star at the time showed them all roped together. Couldn't remember the name of it and lost touch with anyone i knew from there. The only names i remember are Stuart and a girl called Lilleaf Grayson. Can you remember any names of the staff? I think there was one called Maggie. I seem to remember there was also a girls borstall type institution in the same grounds.

Only Brian Kershaw, Stanley Bluff, David Unwin, Tommy Botham AAAnd Kenneth Lindley, remember him, very well spoken.

Pam (SIs) says we were evacuated south then brought back to Fulwood at the end of the war but I think I was boarded out when I was 14

 

Before that went to Lydgate Lane school and onto Western Road school

Leaving at dinnertime to run to sheffield shops and back before afternoon classes

then sometimes not returning until bus times in the afternoon having been fishing down ******* alley

In trouble again!!! Joy unbounded!!!!!

My Dad was in FCH from 1940 til about 1952. He won't talk about it as he has blocked it out of his memory. He was in No6 with Miss Lindsey. He was one of the Lindley brothers, his brother Les was always running away and I believe he was in No 2 cottage and his other brother Mark was in No 3 cottage. I would appreciate any info anyone has or if anyone remembers the brothers. Thanks

 

hi was that Keneth Lindley in cott 6 he was older than me
