EPW057577 ENGLAND (1938). The Children's Convalescent Home, West Kirby, 1938

Hi I was Margaret Harris. My brother is Colin We were both at West Kirby from 1961 to 1965.

I remember Lillian Hopkins and Jenny Holmes. I would love to get in touch.

Hello, I was West Kirby from Jan1963 to leaving summer 1966. My name was Patricia Leaman (Pat) I remember being friends with Jenny (Holmes?) She was very good at art and I think came from Skipton.

Sister Doubleday...if we heard her coming down the corridor at night we would immediately jump back into our beds. Sister Williams, she was very nice. Mrs. Thom, Headmistress. Teacher, Mrs Yates, took us for sports. There was a teacher whose name I cannot remember who was friends with Cynthia Lennon ( Beatle/John Lennon's ex-wife) she would bring Beatle memoribilia in for us.

Only slept in the outside section once, then it was closed off and made into a day room. The old quarantine was'nt used so it was turned into dorms. I was in a 3 bedded room sharing with , I think Jenny and another girl...Gwyneth. I also remember Joan Campbell.

The boys ages only went up to 14 years when I was there but the girls ages were up to 15-16.

I still have a couple of old photos somewhere...one of me taken as a new girl at 12 years old and another of a group of us when we did 1st Aid with two ladies who used to come in from outside...ohh and we are wearing those grey school skirts with bib front..awful, until they made the older girls those blue/black more modern looking skirt and top.

If anyone remembers me I would love to hear from you.

My name is Helen Smith I was there but can't really remember wat the others were called I rember doublday and Thom but. Would love to get hold of old pics anyone know how it's possible thank you
