Was It Arley
A Memory of Upper Arley.
Hoping that this may spark a memory and help me. I have a five year gap in my life and the name Arley springs up a lot. Its not the one in Cheshire.
My Godmother would drive me down from Glasgow and then leave me there, at first I thought it was friends, but reading the memories, more springs back. One lady mentioned the flagstones everywhere, and the dressing up. I recall a larger hall with seats down the side that lifted up to access toys and dressing up clothes, also can recall sleeping in like a dormitory with a corridor separated by a metal wall.. I can recall that the River Severn was not to far from the grounds. I would have left in 1954-55 on returning to my mother in Cheltenham..
I have returned to Arley and although the Castle has long gone, many things seemed to spark memories.
Was it a normal school or one for Children whose Parents may not have been socially acceptable in that era, such as divorced or affairs? I intend no offence, as I can find no reason to be there at all and that was one train of thought
If anyone has any clues, ideas or suggestions I would love to hear them.
Best Regards
Rob Griffin
