Brief Historys

After acquiring the house in 1947 , and as a result of the Children's Act of c. 1948 , the West Riding C.C. opened a home for children in unsafe or unhappy family circumstances . All the brothers and sisters of a family were kept together at Bramham House , which was not used at this stage as an institution for maladjusted or delinquent children.

Thus it became, for as long as necessary, their family home, under a succession of administrators: Mr. & Mrs. Holmes, Mr. & Mrs. Bradbury, and finally, under this WRCC regime, Mr. & Mrs. Hale , who has added a note on the Home in their time.

On local government re‑organisation in 1974 Leeds took over the running of the Home , as a result of which the admission policy changed. The Hales left, and thereafter children on remand and delinquents were admitted to join the family groups still present. This caused many problems. A description of the life of the children's home was written for the Archive by Mrs. Hale
