The Castle Called Hell

Hi David, I was in the Castle School from 1961 to 1964. I was also in Crawley House laundry no 84. And I rememeber you, was your laundry number 86? I used to spend a lot of time with George March, Marchie was his nickname. I also remember the imfamous Mr Bowles who as you rightly put was an evil B-----d along with his equally evil animals Mr Maddison, Bewdley House & Mr Stewart, Softley house. Stewart was famous for putting one hand on one of your ears, holding your head so you couldn't move it, and hitting your other ear with his other hand and nearly bursting your eardrums. Do you remember me? I had ginger hair, it's a bit grey now. I live in Leeds. Please get in touch, I would love to hear from you. All the best.
