Styal Residential Open Air School

Styal Open Air School
I was at Styal Open Air School from 1958-1967 and I have wonderful memories of picnics on the lawn outside Wendy House where I lived, and trainee teachers coming in the summer and playing games with us and taking us out to Styal Woods. I also remember going to Wilmslow for Christmas shopping and also shopping for other occasions. I remember bath nights on a Sunday night and then washing all the socks in the bath water afterwards, and I always volunteered for that as we got to stay up later and one of the nurses would take us to her flat for hot drinks, biscuits and chocolates. That was the best time of my life, I loved it there and wish I could have stayed there longer. I can`t believe that people are sueing for abuse (shame on them), I was never abused the whole time I was there. I was punished once or twice when I did something wrong but that's the way it was then. I have... Read more
Life in Peter Pan House Styal Residential Open Air School 1957-59
My memory of Styal Open Air School is one of happiness and gratitude to all of those dedicated and professional nurses who showed me and others love and compassion in the absence of our parents. Shame on you who were responsible for the demolition of the fine buildings and shame on you who try to blacken the name of the care staff who embraced us with love. Nurse Jones and Nurse Lyons you will always be remembered to as will the teaching staff and general house care staff. Great happy days in the orchard, roller skating in the school yard and waiting on Sundays at the gates for our parents to visit. I used to share my mum and dad's vist with a great young boy who had no visitors. I only remember him as Bobby. I also remember, Alan Scaife and John Dalton who used to eat anything, poor lad. His favourite was boot laces or cotton.! I would love to hear from anyone around that time. barryplant235@btinternet.com A memory... Read more
Manchester Residential School/Bollin Cross
I went to this school in 1977-80. I started in Hawthorn House and Mr Holland's class, he was a good teacher. Then moved next door to Beech House and Mrs Bowcock's classs. I know I wasn't abused there or bullied because my parents would have took me out. I went there because I was on crutches because of an operation on my hip. There was a lot of kids there with differant disablities. I do remember some of the staff like Mr Sidery the headmaster, Miss Curtis deputy head, Sister Smith and Sister Cook, Nurse Eleanor Jones, Nurse Wilks, Di Babbage, Linda Alcock and John the mini-bus driver and handyman. I had some good times there and also did my C.S.E. exams which I passed. We had a youth club on a Wednesday night and a tuck shop on a Friday because we also received spends every week which we could spend or save. My name then was Sharon Bell.

My Robinson Family And Their Memories c. 1830-1848
My only memory of Rostherne lives through my ancestors memories of their life their. My gr gr gr gr grandfather George Sheldon Robinson and his wife Mary (White) robinson christened several of their children there before going to Canada sometime around 1838 or shortly after. They left before the 1841 census evidently. Was hoping to find if Sheldon was born there or did him and his wife just simply reside there with their children. Christenings are as follows: would love info:
