Yes that sounds like Mary but I can't remember why she left. If you join us on Facebook there are several others who will remember Ivor & Rhona. Rhona was Top Floor group leader when I started there.

Cheers,

Christine.

I was in Todwick from 1972-73 with my sister our mother was in hospital at the time. the staff i remember most then were Colin and Harry Bower, Rhona and Ivor Bell, Miss "Polly" Parrot (what an ogre) there was a chap in charge looked a bit like David Bellamy and a young guy who was an ex copper. I was on top floor and my sister was on wing. The kids i can remember at that time were Antony McDevitt, Cherie And Beverly Berzins, Bonnie Mangam, Michael Smythe and his sister, Philip Memot there were a lot more but these people left their mark most on my memory. Mr Tankard Was an amazing teacher who was instumental in getting me into an outside school (Beaver Hill Wahaaay). I can remember the winter nights playng fox & hares hiding in the japanese gardens the holidays were brilliant camping in the lakes or north wales Clanberis being one of the most memorable (does anybody remember the huge stores at todwick?). Todwick Grange was a huge adventure for me and contributed greatly to the person i am today.

 

 

 

So I would just like to say to ALL from Todwick who May remember Nigel and Wendy Hillson THANK YOU FOR ONE OF THE GREATEST EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE.

Yes indeed I do. A Sprite Musketeer I think. Keith & I did trips with it on numerous occasions. It had an awning which one young person used to refer to as the hornet. LOL!

Must see if Keith recalls who that was. Happy days:)
