My Time at Taxal

I'm shocked to the core to read the above message about the bloke being abused. I was at Taxal Lodge from 1989-92 and had an absolutely brilliant time there. The scenery in the winter from my bedroom window was outstanding and the summers were even better. All the social workers were brilliant and the activities we could do in the hills was something we would never have got the chance to do back in the city. I'm really sad that it's now been sold to turn into flats, this is one of the finest houses you will see or ever get the chance to live in.

RE: RE: My Time at Taxal

Hi there, I think this guy is talking about Taxal Lodge and you must have lived at Taxal Edge because Taxal Lodge closed well before your date. I was at Taxal 1989-1991. Do you remeber Tracy that worked there? Anyway, join the Facebook group and search Taxal Edge Children's Home. Thanks, and if you're in touch with anyone else that used to stay there please ask them to join as well, the more memories and photos the better.
