Mobbely Boys School

Was there 73ish to 75 Curtis house .Mr thomas head of house great bloke .Not much to say of the others .Was always absconding .How i miss those long walks back to manchester .Seems like yesterday !

I was one of the first girls to go to Mobberley. I didn't last long there .But loved the swimming pool.

Oh yeah also remember the bats,flapjack and the room that they locked you in.

was there from 78/79.hated the place was in Russell house which if I remember was also nicknamed borstal house because it was run by sadistic mr adolf link and his vile wife eva link.also remember a brilliant house master called mr burke who didn't live on site but came in as a relief.drove a vintage rover and always wore a cravat.brilliant man and very,very intelligent.mr and mrs hickey were great in there own way but decided to move on not long after my arrival.was sent an idiot called mr McNamara who's wife cudn't boil an egg but we still had to eat her lumpy porridge!i can remember you Adrian I can also remember bob timms who thought he was elvis(big prick really).George Oldham,razza,ste molloy(only other scouser in our unit),bob hughes,wayne murray,chris boyd,john townsend,andrew bellech(think he was gay)rob Cavanagh,ian Armstrong,a lad who,s nickname was skids coz his bills were always full of em!really don't remember you abscondin all the time,in fact can,t remember you abscondin at all to be honest.wot remember the most tho was when a lad called ste proctor found out that at the end of a home visit he was told he was never to come bak to the house once he left and rather than return to borstal house indefinetly he promptly hung himself.i think it wasa scouser called Stephen Bristow who represented Russell house at his funeral.my time at mobberley was not good at all and this is the first time in 38yrs av mentioned it to any1.not a very nice place at all and am so glad it was demolished.pity they cudn,t have left most of the staff and the so called big boys who were always pickin on the weak and grovelling to the staff inside when they pulled it down!glad its gone.
