My Mother Was Port Regis Convent

North Foreland Lighthouse c1965
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

My name is Natasha Buckley, my mother was at Port Regis Convent as a child, as she had severe asthma as a young child. I think she was there from 1954 to 1961. She told me that it was a horrible place and that the irish nuns there were cruel and evil. She hated the place. Her name was Carol Ann Millott.

RE: RE: My Mother Was Port Regis Convent

Hi there I remember Carol, could you ask her if she remembers Rita. I was made to eat the lumpy porridge I had thrown up...I have never touched porridge since. I got there about May or June 1954 and left just before my 10th birthday in March 1956. I have two group photos, one of paper not good quality, the other one is a small group on photo paper...if you'd like me to send you them you can write to: ritapilbrow@hotmail.com It would be lovely to hear from you. All the best from Rita
