Memories Of Cheeseburn Grange
A Memory of Cheeseburn Grange.
My brother and were put in the Orphanage, I think, in 1943-4, despite the fact that both parents were alive. We remained there until, I think,1946. I am unclear as to the exact dates as I am now 67 years of age. I have had no contact with any of the boys who shared those days. Some names I do recall are, Flynn's, Suttons,Grey, Mcnamara and Chapman.I remember going for walks with the sisters to gather rose hips and nettles. The stings we received from the nettles were relieved by rubbing them with dock leaves . Another memory is of the American Army being camped there. They gave chocolate and chewing gum to the children. This bounty was confiscated by the sisters. I moved to New Zealand 1963 where,apart from a return to Britain in 1975, have lived ever since.
