Thomas 11 Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Thanks, Thomas. You say that you have stories that will make our hair curl. Well, we are all interested in hearing what you have to say.. It may save some of us going to the hairdresser at the weekend...lol. Well said Michael...... I like it lol Some of my experiences did certainly make my hair curl......... or was it all the bread crusts I was forced to eat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nice1rose 0 Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 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.

Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Welcome to Nottstalgia Ashley. It's always interesting when someone revives an old thread. None of the people who made the previous posts have been back here for several years so they may not see your comment, but if you have any more stories we'd be glad to hear them.

Beekay 5,094 Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 Welcome to Nottstalgia RichA. You should have some interesting memories to share. I lived near Hartley Road home, off Denman Street, passed it many times on me way to the Windsor cinema. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
