ukelele lady Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 :( Did anyone out there ever stay at the Fairthorn home at Dore? I stayed for 4 weeks in 1958 or 9. There were about 4 bedrooms that slept 4 or 5. The blue room ,gold room , green room and pink room if my memory serves me well. I can still remember some of the girls names who was there at the same time. Vera Stacey from Attercliffe, Margaret Matilda Macale? and a girl called Pat Tanzy from Parson Cross who was always telling us young ones about the Roxy. Loved it , I gained almost a stone before I went home.That's what it was all about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutch Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I went to stay at Fairthorne around 1959/60 I went two years running. Loved it. I remember the different colours in the bedrooms. Had loads of fun. Anyone remember the plays that we put on at the end of the stay? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukelele lady Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Hutch I bet you would remember Mr & Mrs Chumley who were the house keepers, lovely people. I had my first taste of bacon there, then Mr Chumley would come round and ask " would anyone like any more dip?" [ bacon fat ] delicious at the time. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
