i can remember a worker named marrion and one name lynn if its them and i do remember some new staff starting and a few leaving over time i was there.
Yes christmas time there was great, and of course i remember the nativity plays i played the angel one time and mary another time, i remember getting in trouble a few times there, yes i have been thinking over the decades to go for a visit and walk around that way in 2023 as a 50th year of leaving. yes it is now posh apartments i have seen them advertised and in a recent time a police investigation going on about certain activities and people beried on the grounds. yes i forgot to mention in my last reply i am still around birmingham, i had the chances to move around and abroard during the years, but stayed in the midlands. so what you upto nowadays.That makes sense your locker was on the right of mine. Do you remember Christmas? When we had to line up to mix the Christmas pudding, and the nativity plays. I remember a tall black man Josep Poxon, and I hid his sandles one afternoon. The next day we all had to look for them, I found them straight away and I was made to eat my dinner downstairs in the hall by your locker. Christmas was lovely there and I remember making decorations and hated when we had to go in the paddling pool. By the way I think the old car has since gone and haseley hall is now posh apartments. I revisited around 5 years ago and walked around the grounds, it was very emotional.
Hi Adrian, sorry for jumping into this old thread but scanning through the forum, its clear you have a great memory. I was also at Haseley, I think, between '66 and '69. The room names, boys names and activities you describe are really starting to bring the memories back. Do you remember me, David, skinny, asthmatic black kid? I started in the first room, closest to the farm...those cows) I think it was called Rabbits? But I do remember being in Foxes with the very cool bunk beds. Had some fun, interesting times. Visited the place a few years ago (now apartments). The door was wide open so took some pictures and videos of that incredible main staircase. I will post when I find them.Hi, i was at haseley hall school between 1967 and 1973 when it was an open air school, i had a happy time there when i look back although some things have changed in todays standards. we slept in rooms witch was named after animals, we had the farm next door and the forrest and the woods to go at the weekend, and i think there was an outside pool if i remember right, i also remember a sun dile thing of sorts made of stone and an old fashion rotten and rusty car , and the play ground was near the green house, the staff treated us good and there were 3 classrooms down stairs for certain ages if i remember right.
