Gainford home for boys
« on: Friday 23 October 09 10:38 UTC (UK) »
My father, Michael Simpson (His father changed name from Botto to Simpson!), was a resident at the catholic run home at Gainford, near Darlington, between 1930 and 1938. Does anyone have any information or pictures of this home, which has now been demolished. He stayed there with his brother Frank Simpson.

Hello Bobbin Mill,

There are quite a few hits on Google and Google images if it's the right one.
