Hi everyone, I'm new on here only because I was trying to find out some information about the kids home that my brother and I went to in the late 50's. Having read all of the posts on here I must admit I was quite shocked to read about all the abuse that took place there. I was wondering if it was indeed the same place, I'm pretty certain that it was, in fact my brother and I went there twice.

My memories are that I enjoyed my time there, there were young male helpers who used to have a skittle group, a small putting area in the garden, some lessons to do with the sea, trips to the embassy theatre, walks to Gibralter point and plenty of coca cola. I must admit I never saw or received any abuse at all, perhaps I was lucky, I don't know. By the way there was no boxing at all.
