hi. i have just joined the forum. i was trying to start research into hartley rd homes and school and came across this thread while doing so. i lived at the home approx. 1946 to 1956 and attended the school. although possibley slightly ahead of him the post from danny explained a lot to me about the set up at the homes. i was in the girls only but just down the end of a long corridor were the boys. we were looked after by an uncle john and aunty homes/holmes?. they had a baby son called jeremy who i had to rock to sleep before going into the band room to watch a film or something.
