Sheffield Scattered Homes - Memories?

[Guest tk2]

Wondered if anyone has any personal memories of the Sheffield Scattered Homes (with its headquarters on Herries Rd) which they'd be willing to share. I know there is some useful background information on the excellent Workhouses.org website (http://www.workhouses.org.uk/scatteredhomes/) and Sheffield Archives holds some records of the homes but I'm particularly interested to hear from anyone with experiences of growing up in the scattered homes who might be able to provide some personal insights (Please message me if you can provide any information - I understand you may not want to share such personal information on a public forum!). Thanks
