Hiya,

Can anyone help me, back in about 1973, my brother was at boarding school at Colomendy in the top camp, does anyone know what the correct name of the top camp was, I seem to think it was Glyn Allan, although I am not too sure, anyone got any idea?

I went to Colomendy twice, in 1972 and 73. It was great. For a lad from a big family living in Gerrard Crescent tennements in town and never been on a holiday, it was brill.

Here's the Colomendy thread:

I loved Colomendy.I went 3 times with my junior school.
Much fun was had.:PDT11

cheers john, some of the best experiences of my childhood where at Colomendy. Sad that most Liverpool school's have now been priced out of the newer, improved Colomendy.

This is right, it was Glyn Allan

At one time Colomendy was the only chance for many Liverpool kids to have a bit of a holiday. The top camp was called Glyn Allan and I think it was used for children in Care. Later, when Mr Taylor became the head of Colomendy he hired the top camp out to various schools, often for art weekends.

At one time Colomendy was the only chance for many Liverpool kids to have a bit of a holday.

That was the case for my dad. In fact, Colomendy was my only holiday at the time too.

I,ve heard a lot about coller mendy on these pages but my gran told me about my Uncle Bob had a chance to go there back in the war years and apparently he wrote back home to tell his mum to either come for him or he is going to walk the rail track home. And he came from a very poor home too, it just goes to show that not everyone is the same.
