Did he go on the trip to blackpool? I was only young but my mum and other staff took them to blackpool for the day. Im seeing my mum tomorrow, I will try and ask her about the home. I do remember a David Scarborough who was in there.

It's Osborn House. it used to be a boys' home at one time but has been empty for 10 years or so. i think it was sold to a private owner a few years ago. anyone know?

 

JD.--re your comments as above were brought to my attention by family.

I also veiwed a sad looking Osborn House on photo bucket.

I was employed their for several years in the late 1960s, when it was a

Hostel for youths, aged between 16yrs and 20 years , subjects of a Probation Order.

 

Can you advise of its current situation ?

Hi Beth-- it was a grand and fabously maintained home, having

polished oak an mahogany doors, balastraded staircases leading

to the upstairs rooms. The first floor salon had oak parka flooring

A magnificant ornate fireplace , and the walls of the room were

decorated with panels of jade geen silk.

Can you tell me if the property remains or has been demolished ?

It is still standing - bit looking increasingly shabby and derelict, which is a real shame.

you can see one side of the house on google street view, but the front is covered with overgrown trees, its on the same side as the church and its in burngreave road s3 for anyone who wants to look it up
