Childrens Home Wood Lane Rothwell

A Memory of Rothwell.

I remember living at the back of the children's home in Oakwood Drive, Rothwell and children getting used fireworks from our garden. Nobody seems to remember the childrens home, but I remember it and then Home Lea Home and houses being built.

My Mother was in an orphanage in about 1910, I think it might have been in Rothwell run bye a Miss Silverwood. My has now passed away and I am trying to trace family ancestors.
