Inside the Gates of Children's Cottage Homes – New Book

By Gudrun Limbrick

Amazon: 'Cottage homes were a type of children's home so large that they formed whole villages with their own schools, farms and churches, each housing hundreds of children and live-in staff. Up to 15,000 children were in cottage homes in England and Wales at any one time, and some of the buildings housed children right up to the 1980s. Yet they have been largely forgotten.

'Until now. Based on the memories of people taken into the Homes as children, this books tells the lost story of what it was like to live in cottage homes.'
