sorry just getting back to you now, no we left for senior school in 81 and belive it or not the next time i heard of her was in the liverpool echo about 90, can you belive she was involved in a bank robbery. now i thought i was being a bit bold at the time having a big white wedding in 89 and moving back in with me mam and dad after just 6 months. no, she had topped me with her headlines for sure lol . max

sorry got carried away there, as for the home, i have no idea what happend to it or how long it lasted after that. max

According to my 'contact' it was in use as a Children's Home from late 1951 until the end of March 1995.
