Hi~ I am desperate to find Brian Sandford from Wakefield Yorkshire. I read a posting on your site only yesterday (but he posted it in 2004)~ he was looking for people who lived at Flanshaw Lodge Children's Home at 192 Flanshaw Lane Wakefield in the 50's. I lived there~ and am writing a book about the experience and would love to hear form Brian and anyone else who lived at the Lodge. The email Brian posted is no longer active. Hopeful!!
