Memories of Fulwood Cottage Homes

[Jessie'sgirl 10]

Thank you for this Brian. I will write off this week and let you know if I get any information.

I am really intrested to hear if it was possible to find any records. My father and his brothers lived there all their childhood. My dad is missing some years he says they are blank. I know he hated it and rather not talk of his childhood he remembers skipping school to fish as he got older.

 

Can anyone remember Thomas's there 1939 onwards.

Hi There .May i ask what your Aunties name is/was as i was in there from 1948 -1955.may know her .all the best you obviously care very much for her.

 

I work in a Nursing Home and one of our ladies was a resident in this orphanage along with her siblings. She is a very well spoken lady and speaks very highly of her house mother. They were in the fulwood cottages, not because they were naughty but because of family problems She tells me lovely stories of her time in there, she met her husband at a dance at the city hall or somewhere like that, he was in the army. She had some more sisters in there with her but has lost contact with them. She didnt originate from Sheffield, but cant recall where she said she did come from. She probably was there around that time.
