Yeah I have been exploring for a few years now. I have been on a different forum for a couple of years but I liked the look of this friendly site

Nice report. I've just seen the most recent posts and you have posted all of them! haha

Beautiful pictures.
It's scary to think that a place was meant to be a happy home for boys, was a place of abuse. Shockingly scary x
