Life In Peter Pan House Styal Residential Open Air School 1957 59
A Memory of Styal.
My memory of Styal Open Air School is one of happiness and gratitude to all of those dedicated and professional nurses who showed me and others love and compassion in the absence of our parents. Shame on you who were responsible for the demolition of the fine buildings, and shame on you who try to blacken the name of the care staff who embraced us with love. Nurse Jones and Nurse Lyons you will always be remembered as too will the teaching staff and general house care staff. Great happy days in the orchard, roller skating in the school yard and waiting on Sundays at the gates for our parents to visit. I used to share my mum and dad's visit with a great young boy who had no visitors; I only remember him as Bobby. I also remember, Alan Scaife and John Dalton who used to eat anything, poor lad; his favourite was boot laces or cotton! I would love to hear from anyone around that time. bplant18@btinternet.com

I remember the family visits, the pillow fights and general horseplay, the occasional 'runaways,' who were always found and brought back but I remember nothing but kindness and helpfulness and a sense of well-being.
I was deeply saddened to hear bad reports from later years !
