I was at nore house from 1961 to 1965. During this time I was fostered out twice. A few years ago I traced my birth mother, who sadly passed away before I got to meet her. I did find a sister who lives in Bristol. By strange coincidence one of her best friends purchased a house on the site of the old orphanage. Apparently there were originally 2 buildings on the site although I don't have any memory of that. There is just one original building on the site. I was able to describe to the current owners in detail an upstairs room that was used as an airing cupboard- it had wooden slats. I have few memories - my favourite nurse was called nanny Tricia. I recall riding my bike in the wrong direction around the outside of the house, and losing a fingernail as a result. My best friend was called graham. I did try and find records but without any luck. My adoption officer was called mr Clark. He had black nhs specs.
