Children's homes or orphanages in Sheffield

[brian1941]

maybe we went to the same village school or Greystones, and yet the name does strike a cord

-----------

Flyer, You'd left the homes when Ray Hudson he moved in. :suspect:

[brian1941]

No, I don't recall anyone by that name. It seems as though we at #9 didn't associate or become familiar with too many others outside our own 'family' group. We were, generally, the younger kids of FCH and were therefore not too interested in any of the older boys. Nor they with us for that matter even though there would have only been one or two years difference in our ages. Even when we socialized at dances we were still viewed as being 'the little kids from Cottage #9'. I hated that tag since, even in that environment, or perhaps especially in that environment, I wanted to be 'cool'.

 

Off the top of my head ...the only names that I do remember of those outside #9 were John Kerry (a popular boy as I recall) and Derek Hill, the brother of Ernest who was my house-mate. I think they were both in #2. Then there were Malcolm and George (Georgie) Rhymer, the former boy (I think) being an epileptic. There was also another Malcolm who I befriended from another cottage whose last name escapes me. Frank Skinner is a name that is stuck in my memory banks but I never had anything to do with him. So too Gordon Gower. Brian Ali was a house-mate (I think) of my brother Rex and I do believe they were also good friends. And, that's about it.

----------- Sputnikboy, John kerry was in no5 we were in same class

at Hunters bar School, John's brother were Alick the older then Michael

and there was a younger one not sure if he went in homes.

I do see him sometimes with his wife and he's verry poorly.

Melcolm Rhymer was in no5 but George Rhymer was further down from

no6 not sure what number.

Frank Skinner was in no4.

i am putting some boys names on thread and maybe you'll spot a few

few and also this Malcolm. :smile:

Well done, Brian. There are quite a few names on your list who were not in my cottage that I'd forgotten. Georgie Archer was in my cottage (#9). So too was Graham Hanson who was my best friend up until his leaving. Tony Wales was also in #9. David, his brother, finished up in #9 for a little while though I have a feeling he was housed elsewhere previously. Jimmy Pickering was an older boy but he finished up in #9 for a brief period for some reason or other. At times he was allowed to take off for the weekend on his own. I recall the evening that he came 'home' and told us about the Charles Chaplin movie Limelight that he'd seen over the weekend.

 

By the way, the Malcolm whose last name I couldn't recall previously is Malcolm Bragger. He isn't on your list. You say that John Kerry is quite sick? While it's difficult to imagine ANY of those boys as being anything else but 'young' in my memory I guess most of them would now be in their late 60's/early to mid 70's. Except for me, of course, who is still the same.

----------- Sputnikboy, John kerry was in no5 we were in same class
