A bit spooky to be walking their with my mother knowing that that was where my grandmother spent much of her childhood. I have a little publication about the Asylum which gives you an idea of what life must have been like. There are photos of the children in it but with no identifying information....we used to try and look for the twins in them but without any real confidence of being able to "see" them.Alex Dawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05083753053051713061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-69140889002132243072013-10-18T06:20:45.791+10:002013-10-18T06:20:45.791+10:00Thanks Julie.

I'm sure it wasn't such a beautiful place to live in as a young child.
