There is a large old biulding near Bradfield on Mortimer Road, a beautiful biulding which is just rotting away now, but that used to be an orphanage.

My Dad and his brother and sisters were in Lane End Childrens home at Chapeltown in the mid to late thirtys for a few years. it was still a childrens home up to the early 70s as I remember. Other than what my dad has told me, there seems to be no information on the place. Would love to learn more. It sounded like a very strict place, with some cruel Victorian women running the place!

I beleive my grandmother went to catholic orphanage at the turn of the the 2oth century somewhere along Glossop Road. Her address in 1918 was 167 Glossop Road. This may have been the School of the Sisters of Notre Dame. I dont know if she stayed on at the school as a helper or assistant. Does anyone know if this was an orphanage or a boarding school.

There was a children's home on North Hill Road at Southey Green. My foster-sister lived there in the late 70s from round about when she was 7, but I don't know how long for.

 

yes,thats true,they closed it down in or around 90/91, i remember a brother and sister who went to southey school being in there,the lads name was robert,but can,t remember his sister,s name.
