My dad Roy Taylor was at a childrens' home. He never knew whether it was called Rodbrough or Roxborough House either. He would have been there in the 1950s. He often mentions The Black Boys School which was as it was known and was nearby. I will ask him what else he remembers.

Extracts From Painswick & Gloucestershire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Painswick, inspired by Frith photos.
Painswick—the 'Queen of the Cotswolds'—is situated amid glorious woodland high on the western side of the wolds. Its narrow winding streets have a Dickensian feel, and but for the hum of traffic, it would be easy to imagine yourself back in more gracious times.

Cotswolds Revisited Photographic Memories
St Mary's church is the focus of this ancient little town, which is built almost exclusively from Cotswold stone. The church tower houses a peal of twelve bells. In the tiny square nearby are the town's unusual stocks, made from iron.
