Did any one know Simon Fitzpatrick? if so can you please get in touch with me.
I hope that is helpful.

Hi I was at glenside with my 2 brothers and sister between 1974 - 1980

this message is for all the people that lived at 120 old London road Hastings at Glenside childrens home . it would be good to hear from everybody who went there so please reply back.

Glenside children's home was part of our upbringing how so many people have disappeared. I can understand it was difficult in those days. I was forced to have fights in the home by a bully. But if anybody holding grudges out there we are all adults now it would be nice to hear from all of you. I must praise the banham family for everything thankyou
