Home For Girls And Young Women In Churchfields Road
A Memory of Salisbury.
During the late 1960s I lived in Mill Road just down from the railway station. Our house was opposite Churchfields Road. Some way up this road on the left hand side was some kind of institution where teenage girls and young women lived. This was close to Grosvenor House, I believe. Every Sunday, a procession of these female residents would walk in pairs presumably to church. I was told that the place was a home for unmarried mothers but I am uncertain of this. The girls walked in silence and were dowdily-dressed, this at a time when mini-sklirts, etc, were all the fashion, it being the Swinging Sixties. It was a sad sight. Does anyone reading this know more?
