Was there 79/82 what a lovely place to send a young lad for wagging school. Full of bullies, remember having to fight to survive first few weeks there. Was there when they had the riot me and frank gordon sneaking in the kitchen trying to warm frozen pasties on a hotplate:) got taken to wilmslow police station then upstairs to court?? Got back to be physically abused . So glad its gone had to live with what that place did to me for 40 years

My Father spent his Childhood at numerous Children's homes in Manchester Broome House and Lynwood. His name was Stuart McDonald and his Brother was Martin McDonald. I think Martin may have been moved to Mobberly as my father mentioned he was sent to an approved school. Does anyone remember them? Good memories or bad. he never really spoke of his childhood and there are no photos of him as a child. Any information would help. contact me at steviegb777@hotmail.co.uk
