Books about
cottage homes
So often, there are no official records about cottage homes. They are a forgotten piece of our social history.
For this reason, to try to fill the gaps, we have available books of memories and previsouly unpublished photographs.
Inside the Gates of Children's Cottage Homes
Looks at what all aspects of life was like for people who spent all or part of their childhoods in cottage homes. And tells the story of how these homes changed in the hundred years that they existed.
From left to right, books are available about Kirkham Cottage Homes, Marston Green Cottage Homes, Erdington Cottage Homes and Cosham Cottage Homes.
