Hello Alan, I remember you and Arthur, number 3 if l remember right. Your not wrong mate, the place was an hellhole, Mental, physical and sexual abuse was a daily occurence, We were in the same dorm Alnwick l got there 1960 to 64, We have a group on facebook and we are still fighting for justice 50+ years on. Why not join us on the group? So sorry to hear about Arthur.
Colin Watson number 23, Softley Hose.
