Maureenn Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Hi Brian,Im just generally interested in what life in Fulwood was like for her and her brothers, by the way Ronald is still with us but not in the best of health.Ken is also still around though the last time I saw him was at mums funeral.The other brothers at Fulwood were Leslie and Terry.Ive recently discovered Thornseat Lodge which was where I believe Ronald and Leslie were transferred to.I visited Thornseat Lodge over the weekend and was amazed at how run down and derelict it was.Im guessing life must have been really tough for you all as children. regards Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Bolton was in No2 house as with my brother, Kenneth was in No3, and Ronnie was in No6 as i was. Was it Terry that had fits. i might be able to send you a couple of pic with Terry on. PS, Would your Ronnie remember me and by name. Yours Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maureenn Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 hi Brian,I have sent a text message to Ron asking if he recalls you.I will let you know if he responds.Terry did used to suffer from epilepsy & I recall him having some major fits.Ron came to live with us after leaving Fulwood & stayed until he got married.I would love to see any photos you may have.I remember my mum telling me how awful things were at home for her and her brothers prior to going into Fulwood.Its heartbreaking to think of such young children being taken from home and then separated from siblings.Do you remember her other brother Leslie?he is a little older than Ron.There were 5 of them altogether. ---------- Post added 17-06-2017 at 19:46 ---------- Hi Brian,unable to private message you as I haven't enough posts yet ---------- Post added 17-06-2017 at 19:54 ---------- Still waiting for Ron to get back to me.Will be sure to let you know when he does.Hopefully this should now count as my fifth post so should be able to private message now(fingers crossed).
