Children's homes in Morpeth

[Sandra Bartlett]

Hi
Can you please sign on to Morpeth Matters on Facebook as there are a few of the former residents of the homes looking for people that they may know.
Most would go to St James school in the town.

Hi

There's a girl that was called Carol Trench who went to Hillbrow (I think) if not it was Dene View. I am in contact with her on Face Book as she went to St James with me, she's interested to meet others from the home, do any of you remember her?
