Hi Mark, I worked at Onslow from 1979 to 1982 so we must have known each other, in fact i think i shared one of the rooms with a night porter for awhile, I think at the time a Miss Schnell was Manager

I worked there as a night porter from 1978-1980. The majority of residents were older and permanent residents. I helped a lady move rooms. It was sad to see photographs of her in the twenties at a dance.
And now she was all alone and in her late eighties. I never judged an elderly woman by her looks again.
