person went in the home. also the house number and the house mothers name.

be able to give some history.

hi all i know is she was their about 1935 later sent to someting she called the scattered homes

thanks for the email Brian and i would love to see the photos

hi, got your mail--you were right about the homes, there are scatterd homes
around sheffield. one of my younger sister was in, i think it were near
southey green sheffield 5. i not sure when cottage homes closed down,but thats
when scatterd homes began. some years later they reopen cottage homes,
and it was a girls home for the bad once. they named the home as
moorside.anyway then that closed and now today, it is a private houes-ing.
i still go to have a walk around in the summer,loverly old times--well bye for now. bri
