The Harris Orphanage, Fulwood

Hi, is there anyone out there that remembers the Orphanage? I had some of the best years of my life there. It was run by a Mr Howarth and his wife, and there were seven houses for the boys and the same for the girls. I lived at no 7 and our house parents were Mr and Mrs Perkins. She was a fantastic cook and everyone wanted to be in her house. I can remember some of the names of the lads, Donald Parkinson, Jed Hamer, Brian Rawley, and the Graham Bros' who went to live in Aussie. If anyone remembers me and my two brothers, we are Fred, Terry, and Brian Porter, we'd like to hear from you. Regards. FRP.
