I was at The Quarry, Wragby Rd, Lincoln Oct 1964
It opened ww2 1941 for unmarried mothers closed 1970's
Then became a home for people with mental health issues
Closed January 2010
We a group five  ex Quarry mums try to meet up & visit at Lincoln Christmas Market & call in at the Quarry but since it's closure we have not been able to
It was a home for unmarried girls only
These girls some as young as 13 were made look after their babies for six weeks then give them up for adoption, this was heartbreaking for all that had to witness this as well as the mother.
If you were adopted do not think the worst of your birth mother giving you up this was a selfless act on her behalf, there were no options in those days as there is now, be happy to know in the six weeks of caring for you she bonded & loved you
It was like a work house scrubbing all the floors in that big house, having to get up & make all the coal fires,waiting on the staff they had bone china cups & saucers we had plain, laundry duties no auto washers then, the list is endless
