Paul Worrall Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Hi, When I was a kid at Gleadless PS in the late 50's/early 60's we had a Fairthorn Flag Day to raise money for the project. In those days Fairthorn was a rest home for 'under privileged and delicate children'. I'm not sure when it stopped being a rest home but as I understand it, it's now an eldery persons home? Cheers, Wazzie Worrall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
