I’m the same age as Julian and I also had parents who worked at Brockhall from 1958 to 1986. It was interesting to be reminded of similar experiences although I don’t remember the writer. My mother also worked on Karen ward for many years.
Thanks Yvonne. Interesting that your mum also worked on Karen Ward.
