Ravenswood Cildren's Home On Cliff Road.

hi my mother and father [ Dorothy Morris ] were in charge of Ravenswood in the late sixty's I have a couple of photos of them in the garden with the children from that time .

Three of my siblings and myself, were there in the 60's maybe we are on your photos

Was at ravens wood early 60s terrible place

Was this home a children's home in the late 30s

hi i was in ravenswood with my younger sistet and brother1974 to 1976 i think

Hello Hilary,
I arrived at Ravenswood during school summer holidays in 1948. I was managed then by Matron Muriel Williams, a woman who knew how to manage and motivate children. To my knowledge she never raised her hand to children - at least that is what I remember whilst I was there. There was a member of day staff who was not so restrained. Another I recall fondly was Kathleen Johnson, a very happy and friendly Scottish lady.
I left i 1950 when I was sent to St Vincent's in Hull. Which was an entirely different situation.
I have fond memories of Hoensea and when ever I am in the East Riding I try to visit.
Best wishes
Barry

Hi it is sharron.sorry I don't have a lot of memories of people there only pat I think that worked there

I wasi n Ravenswood on and off between the around 71 on and off then again around 1977, I can verify alot of what you brave, brave children are trying to tell, contact me!!!

No-one ever believed me then, and I was punished for being the only one that ever tried to speak up, it cost me an amazing adoptive family, whome to this day I still love and miss!!!.....

I remember 2 sisters one called Hellen the other possibly called Sharon, there was a white poodle you used to pet, and we were given the impression that you were spoilt rotten, however, living there at that time, I know that looks ARE decieving!
I do pray so much that you both went onto a much, much happier life xxx

There was a Sharon and Helen ,
I was there too I'm Shirley Stephenson

It was a nightmare in there I was there in 1967 the woman who ran it pulled my hair. She was a nasty bitch to me ..

What happened to the place was it demolished I hope so

Ravenswood changed to a social services place , then was finally demolished thank god. I'm now 58 and my mental health was because of that place. The woman in charge was a monster. My name now is Mercedes gray, I was then shirley Stephenson with 2 sisters Sharon and Helen. If anyone would like to get in touch. 07720622983 .

Ravenswood was a hell of an awful place childrens home more like a prison I was there in 1967 I'll never forget the woman who ran it pulling my hair I hated her ..
