Only just come across this post, so maybe..the ship has sailed!!! But, I was helping out and then employed at Nore House Residential Nursery in Portishead from 1965-1975.
Lots of memories, lots of pictures, happy to help/ chat.

Hi lovely to hear from a 'comrade ' from Nore House, as you have read I was there in the 60 's when Matron Hoskins was in charge ,I have a few photos but would love to see more. I live in Somerset and have lost touch will the girls I worked with and am wondering if we were there at the same time!!!!! I was surprised to be told the old house has gone and replaced by houses,but the coach house is still there, did you live in the coach house? My name was Edwina Walter

Mrs J - you may have missed my earlier post, so I have quoted it here:

Welcome to RootsChat! ;D

I notice that Sandy Tebbutt of the Gordano Society is looking for  information on Nore House.
Perhaps you (or anyone with any information) could contact her?

See: http://www.gordanosociety.org.uk/

Sandy would be delighted to hear from you!

RootsChat, being primarily concerned with Family History, doesn't permit the naming of people who are living, or potentially living?

It's all to do with fraud, identity theft, spammers, etc.

You'll have to remove her name.

Hi Jenny,

Mrs J and yourself will be able to send a "personal message" after you have made one more post ;)

To send a PM, you are looking for the third forth round button under user profile name.

Regards

Sarah
