Hello, my name is Sue Shepherd and I have come across your website and thought you might be interested in hearing about my late father.
His name was Horace Thompson, he was born in Hull, Yorkshire in 1922 and joined the Dr Barnardo's family at the age of four.
After two unhappy stays with foster parents, he was eventually sent to live with a loving family in Suffolk on a farm in West Row. He grew to think of this family as his own. However at the age of 14, Dr Barnardo's decided to send him to The William Baker technical school in Goldings to learn a trade. (Carpentry)
I believe he was at Goldings between 1936 & 1938 or 39.
