Re: Calderstones, Brockhall , Langho Colony

I've worked in several houses in the community in Tameside with ex calderstones and brockhall patients in the past ten years, many of them now sadly deceased. Here's some names;
Henry Birch, Brenton Owens, Ronnie Labert, Frances Sage, Charlie White, Percy Rolfe, Richard Gurney, Alan Jackson, Kenny Evans, Latour Henry, David Jackson, Clive Renshaw. the older chaps were very institutionalised obviously and struggled to adapt and probably missed the community on the wards.
I think now with private companies taking over most of the contracts to run community care houses things seem to be going backwards.
