Hi I was placed into care in 1977. I went to Stanfield Assessment Centre, Holt for a short time I don’t remember anyone from there, just that I smashed my front teeth running into the treehouse type thing. I then went onto Red Gables in Purton in Swindon Until 1982. While I was there I also went to an assessment centre called Mulberry Bush School in stanlake near Whitney Oxford. I remember one of my lovely teachers Pauline. I also remember some children......David Preston and Johnny Henry......trying to remember other names but can’t. Remember the stories played over the speakers at night...Jungle book was a popular one. I used to play the piano there...well tinker on it lol if you were around then please feel free to email me at simplypgee@gmail.com

Social services have none of my records.

I was sent to children's home in approximately 1962 when I was aged 10. I believe it was just for summer holidays, Weston super Mare - I have no idea why or the name of the home, but just remember after breakfast we had to go out and I remember sitting on the beach crying as I did not know why I was there. My father was in the Navy but died when I was 5 years old and so my mother was a widow. Does anyone know whether there any homes where children went for a short period of time? The home overlooked the sea but I think it was up in the hills.
