Advantages: Nostalgia

Disadvantages: Emotional

I haven't visited the work house recently however it is dissapointing not read of the nursery in the front part of the building from where many babies and youngsters where adopted in the 50's as this may appeal to many just from a nostalgia point of view.
I was adopted from there in 1953 and visited in the early 90's when I first found out that this was the place my new life started from, sitting in the office talking to staff about the facts of my adoption they had records and to my amasement told me I was quite possibly sat in the office where my birth mum was when she actualy handed my sister and I over even more possiblt still the same furniture from the same day still in there also

I have since located and met my other siblings who stayed either at home or with other memnbers of family and my eldest sister can remember going there with mum not only at hand over time but she also thinks they visited prior to adoption

When I was searching for birth family information the staff there wher truely helpfull and informative

Guess now I should visit and see if my recent memories of my visit are extended on with the " Work House " experience adding to these

Summary: Great reccolection and a place to focus your early years to
