Hi, I wonder if anyone can refresh/confirm/correct my memory about a Children's Home that I believe was in Oxford Road, Moseley?
Many years ago (late '70s/early '80s) I knew a couple of people who had spent some part of their teens there. They had left by this stage and were living independently but had remained friends so having met one, I later got to know the other too.
I found myself thinking about the place lately and what it was, why people were there etc. I didn't ask much back then because I didn't want to pry or maybe stir bad memories for them.
If I recall it was named something like Granville House but I can't find anything about the place any more. I remember years ago coming across something on the net that suggested I'd got the name right. It was an old photo, taken long before the late 1970s period I'm talking about but it was of a Home like I'm describing around the area I remember it being located.
Does this ring any bells with anyone by any chance?
Cheers
