Caps lock on Max?

do you know when it stopped being a childrens' home Max1967?

sorry just getting back to you now, no we left for senior school in 81 and belive it or not the next time i heard of her was in the liverpool echo about 90, can you belive she was involved in a bank robbery. now i thought i was being a bit bold at the time having a big white wedding in 89 and moving back in with me mam and dad after just 6 months. no, she had topped me with her headlines for sure lol . max

sorry got carried away there, as for the home, i have no idea what happend to it or how long it lasted after that. max

No probs Max1967 !!

According to my 'contact' it was in use as a Children's Home from late 1951 until the end of March 1995.

I grew up in Curlew way, and we always played with the kids from the childrens home. One lad ran away and wanted to stay at our house..his name was Tommy Lowe, he's still a good friend now too..

Certainly is Max1967
