Loved finding this group while doing a bit of nosing round on the internet. Visited Skeg for the first time in at least 30 years recently. My other half took me to see the place where his parents ran a b&b in the 60s/70s. Turned out it was on Clifton Grove so got the story of the home on Roseberry which I looked up and that's how I found this forum. Would love to see the photos from then, as part of the site is a Mormon church now.
Not surprised Nottingham City Council did not want to let any info out about the goings on there. Most (possibly ALL) of their children's homes are being investigated now for abuse, this one wouldn't have been any different I imagine. It certainly doesn't sound it.
Anyone who did suffer abuse and has carried it with them throughout their adult life should make sure to report it now, to the IICSA enquiry.
