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
