>i was at lowdham grange from january 57 until march 58 in warner house,it was a brilliant place in every way, i was in the woodworking machine shop and the boss was mr shipman, I vividly recall officers Johnnie Gates, Chonga Hill, Scoue Evans and housemaster Charlie Booth, all the lads were treated so well and encouraged in every way, I was released in March 58 and within a matter of weeks met the most beautiful girl ever more whom I married in 1960 and still love her so much, she knows all about me, my time at Lowdham Grange is so vivid as I learned so very much. FS I am trying to put together a book on the experiences
