In Care

A Memory of Croydon.

My siblings and I were in care during the 50's. I was fostered until the age of 10 when I was returned in 1958 to my biological family in New Addington. I first went to Wolsey primary school but by the end of 1958 I was at Fairchilds high school which was then a girls school.
teachers I recall were, Mrs Gillies, science and Miss Sweetman for music.
memories of Croydon include when the Wimpy bar first opened, Surrey St market, Marks & Spencer where I worked for 5 years, the Orchid Ballroom where I went dancing every Friday night and where I met my husband.
my brother recalls that he was in Croham Rd childrens home but I can find no records for it.
I am writing my life story and would like to track down my fostering records but in three years of research I cannot find any trace of us being in care. It's as though it didn't happen but we know it did. Does anyone else recall this childrens home ?
