Was there in the 70s lol we won youth club's gold. That was a lone time ago wished I new what happened to every one I new from the staff and the kids.ha boys you out there and the girls we used to go see you at high beach on Saturday's on Sunday's we went for tea .

I worked as a residential social worker at High Beech, Coopers Hill Lane. This was my first job in social work, and I continued in this field until I retired nearly 2 years ago at the age of 67. I loved my work!

I remember umberto he was a great staff member and another live in social worker on the 2nd floor end of corridoor cant remember his name though I was there at the age of 14 stayed the for two years The Manager of the place was called Mr Weddon he lived there with his family I had a good mate there called Gary Morgan

I also remember Umberto, he really was a really nice and fair member of staff. I was there 1975-1976 and remember it well with a lot of fond memories, singing "All Coppers are *****" as we passed the police college at the top of the hill in the mini bus. I do often wonder what happend to all the staff and friends I made there. I retire in 3 years time and have spent my working life in IT. I am now married for 34 years with 4 daughters and grandchildren, so life has been good to me.
