One response to “Royal Albert”

1. My Aunty Audrey leah Wood born 1932 was about 14 -16 yrs old when she was moved from children’s home at lodge Moor Sheffield to Royal Albert Lancaster. Her mother Phoebe Wood was sent to Whittingto Hall Chesterfield between 1943-47 both moved around these dates i wondered if you could find out were they here together at first did Phoebe get moved again if she was there .
