Hi all

I am trying to find detailed information about KINGSWOOD BOYS REFORMATORY SCHOOL, BRISTOL, specifically between the periods 1960-1968, photographs, memories, stories, anything would be useful.

Not sure if this is the correct board, but hope it is!

Thanks

Hi and welcome to Rootschat.

When googling the school I found that Bristol Record Office holds  log books,registers, minutes , reports, medical records etc from 1890-1965.

Hi I found this thread re Kingswood and believe my uncle John Neville was there from 1960 onward. He’s now in his 70's and I have been trying to trace him for my dad ( his older brother)and fill in the gaps on the family history. If anyone remembers him and can advise how he came to be there that would be greatly appreciated
