Children's homes or orphanages in Sheffield

[brian1941 11]

they used to be childrens homes on lydgate lane at crosspool were merlin estates built on in the 80=90s

 

frighten of a double dip, credit crunch still on and no money yet

my only complaint of canada is ourt.v is real bad the most uptodate b.b.c canada is 9months behind yours and just filled with mindless adverts 90% comes from the states i'm supprised they moved from radio

------------

i still love the radio, i get fed up with adverts and repeats on t.v.

Do you get a lot of repeats and do you have many of british

programs.

 

My friend keeps looking for a 1940/50 wireless for me,

i loved tinkling about with different stations,

not struck of digits.

One of my ancestors Tom Glossop was in the Sheffield boys Working Home which I believe was at 82 Broomspring Lane, Broomhall.

 

Can anyone tell me if I can see a list of the boys who lived there circa 1894-1898?

 

I am trying to find out when he separated from his family.

 

I know he left there in 1894 at the age of 14 years and took a job working for Warbys the Grocers.

 

Any information or advice would be most appreciated. PopT

Hi fyler,

was your 5 hrs in front or behind.

 

P.s regards the pot under the bed, that was quick access and a privilege

for some people, we had to queue on the cold landing and we could

never aim in the bucket as we were always shiv`ering.

Winters was worst.
