hathechewed Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) I was in Everingham Rd, In the mid 60s Auntie Trixie was the first house mother I knew, she had a cricket bat at the bottom of the stairs that had "greetings from Blackpool" written on it. If you were going to get beat for whatever but you were quick enough to get to your bedroom you were safe, but no one said how long you had to stay in for, If you left the bedroom too early she would go straight for the bat again and if she caught you it was curtains. She was fast and the bat was hard but at least we were fed 3 times a day. I went in at about 6/7yrs old and had never seen Marmite before, I spread it on like jam I must have only been in about a week and wasnt allowed to leave the table till I ate it I never touched the damned stuff again lol....That will teach me not to be greedy.....

King-29 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 There was an orphange at Lodge Moor back in the 50's. Now an up market residential area, but I remember seeing the kids walking back from Fulwood Church on a Sunday morning - quite a trek! It was called Fulwood Cottage Homes and it did become a naughty girls home afterwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vix2000 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Yes, it was a "community school" for young female offenders. It was called 'Moorside". I worked there in the late 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
