Looking back on these photos I am struck by the sheer lack of Health and Safety at the time: imgine children building a fire and cooking on it in a hospital ward!
My own memories of the time the Girl Guides spent with us are positive. They were our only link with the outside world and I can still do the knots they taught us!
"The Children of Craig-y-nos" by Ann Shaw and Carole Reeves is available in paperback for £9.99p from Amazon
