Thanks Eilleen!

I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who was there in 1968 or around that time.
How many girls were there and what was it like? I love the story about sunbathing on the roof! - although I understand that was a brief interlude of fun in what was otherwise very tough times.
Many thanks, Natalie

Hi Natalie,

I was there in 1968, but as I was born there in April that year, I have no memories of the place. I just wanted to say hello to you, as its good to know there are others out there who have had a similar start in life to me.
Have you made contact with any of your birth family?
I am wanting to find my birth mum but havent really started searching properly as I dont have a lot of information to go on!

Bye for Now,

Sarah

I was at Quarry in 1968. Still being used as maternity - both married & unmarried.
Fun place - not like so many horror stories of other 'homes'!
It was Wragby Road Lincoln.

Hi, you didnt happen to be in the Quarry between April and June 1968, did you? I am trying to find someone who remembers my mother, her name was Catherine, she was 17 and 5'3" with brown hair. She gave birth to me on 27th of April and named me Sarah-Helen.
Any memories you have, even if not of my mum would be good to hear. I am wanting to find out anything I can about her and about the way life was in the maternity home for all of you mums there.

If you would be happy to give me any info it would really mean a lot to me.

Thanks,

Sarah.

I was also here at The Quarry in 1968, from April to July, many memories, so many tears.

Hi, sorry to bother you. Do you remember a girl of 17 called Catherine Watkins, who had a baby girl at the end of April? She would have left The Quarry by the middle of June that year. She was 5'3" with brown hair.

Thank you.
