Orphanages,doe's any readers know of a group of 4 or 5 houses known as the Lees./ Leigh Homes, Scholes nr. Holmfirth, Yorks., children from there attended Hepworth school during the 1940/50 period, I drove past them a few years ago and they appeared to be closed, several of the children were school mates.

I was there during the early 60s between 63 and 68. I was part of the family that got kidnapped by our own Father a week before the holidays to Cleethorpes I was in one of the houses called Maple. Mr Broome was in charge as far as I can remember. Plus remember the Round Table taking us on trips etc. I still remember plenty of names of former residents but none of the staff. I have done a load of searches over the years and always come up empty handed. We must have been a secret.
