Desford Industrial School

Many thanks for your reply. I suppose we will just have to be content with the fact that they had done wrong and were sent there as punishment. The neice of this inmate has told me that he went on to marry and have a family so I expect it didn't do him that much harm being in there. Best wishes on your research.

Not sure if you're all still out there, but looking up a relative who was in Desford, I noticed National Archives say Norfolk Record Office hold some papers regarding the school.
