Post 18......No it isn't , This photo is of one of the houses that belong to the Erdington Cottage Homes, which were located on Fentham Road, the grounds if I remember correctly were part of Highcroft Hospital.

I am wondering if anyone could tell me about Hawthorne House childrens home in the 1970s. Maybe someone on here worked there as a nursery nurse.
Hi Lisa, I was placed at HH for a short period in 1978. I knew three siblings...two girls and a boy. I'd love to make contact if you were one of them or could point me to someone who might know them. Best, MariaMalvern.

Hi Lisa, I'm not sure my last post was sent a few moments ago, so just want to reiterate that I was at HH in the late 70s and knew three siblings...a boy and two girls. If you were one of them, I'd love to hear from you. Best, MariaMalvern.
