Have any members got any information about 'Birmingham Industrial School'? It was based at Fillongley, Shustoke, Coleshill. It was listed on Google along with detention centres and reform schools, and apparently children who were in need of care or had committed minor mis-demeanours were sent there.The reason I am asking is that I found one of my great- uncles on the 1911 census listed as one of the inmates, he was one of ten children ,but all the others are listed as being at home, he was ten years old at the time. I was wondering if there was any way of finding out why he was sent there, from the sound of it they had to work while they were there.
