Blaisdon Made Me

The prospect of a move from St. Joseph's Home, London to Blaisdon in Gloucestershire, evokes fear of further horrors to come. For years, the author has been warned of the Spartan disciplines, awaiting all who are sent there. Will Blaisdon Hall be the ultimate in refined punishments by men that the orphanages Sisters suggest? From the moment he changes trains in Gloucester, is escorted by a man in black and arrives at Blaisdon Halt, the transition from boy to man begins.
