BSBH 1944--1952	by tony sims (Member 10250671) on 11-Aug-2010
I REMEMBER KINGSTON WELL. DURING MY YEARS THERE HE WAS A CONSTANT IRRITANT TO ALL THE BOYS. HE ARRIVED THERE WHEN HE WAS 8 YRS OLD. OVER THE NEXT 8 YRS HE ROSE IN STATURE (BOYS WILL BE BOYS).HE BECAME A DOMINEERING BULLY. IF YOU DID ANYTHING HE DIDNT LIKE OR DID NOT DO AS HE TOLD YOU HE MADE LIFE HELL FOR YOU. WHEN HE LEFT HE JOINED THE ROYAL MARINES, I HEARD LATER HE WAS THROWN OUT OF THE MARINES FOR HOMOSEXUALITY.HE WAS ALWAYS A POOF AND I KNOW HE CORRUPTED MANY BOYS THERE. SURPRISINGLY HE GOT THE POST IN CHARGE OF THE HOME, ABSOLUTE PARADISE FOR A POOF. I SINCE LEARNED THAT HE IS DEAD----GOOD----HE MADE MY LIFE HELL AND OTHER BOYS TOO. CERTAIN THINGS THAT HAPPENED THERE BECAUSE OF HIM, HAVE HAD A VERY MARKED EFFECT ON ME THAT I CANNOT FORGET. I JUST CANT UNDERSTAND HOW THE AUTHORITIES COULD HAVE PUT HIM IN CHARGE OF A BOYS HOME AFTER HE WAS BOOTED OUT OF THE MARINES FOR BEING A QUEER POOF BUMBOY. ... more >> Re: BSBH 1944--1952 by stephen shepherd (Member 10160361) on 11-Oct-2010 last i heard Kingston was chased out of Brixham by the locals Re: BSBH 1944--1952 by Mark Miles (Member 10261558) on 21-May-2011 myself, and brothers Phillip miles and Richard Miles went to the BSBH January 1971, we were told we would spend up to a maximum of 6 weeks in this establishment.But unfortunately, this was not the case, my mum had become freinds with fred farlow and his wife, who were wonderful people this is how she had become aware of the BSBH. When we entered the BSBH early January 1971 the people in care of us were Mr fred Farlow and his wife and Mr and Mrs Ford who were wonderful people. Unfortunately, after our 6 weeks had passed there were no signs of us going anywhere and at some point after this Mike Kingston and his wife took over.i had been across the road for a couple of canings from cpt parry, but nothing had prepared me, my brothers and probably the rest of us inmate's for the hell we were about to endure. As the months went by i decided enough was enough,i could not believe how awfull life had become. Myself and Mr Rob Hargreaves a.k.a sly-one decided to abscond. If anyone would be interested in hearing the end of my tale and possibly more of what went on inbetween please respond in some way. i just happened to be listening to radio 2 this morning ( 21st of May 2011 ) to hear there was some kind of reunion for the BSBH in Sailsbury but have been unable to establish where or when. ... more >> Re: BSBH 1944--1952 by Mark Miles (Member 10261558) on 21-May-2011 My email address is thepropertyclinic@hotmail.co.uk thanks Mark Miles Reply

Peter Excell was the perv, hasseling me and a few boys, Kingston was just a shithouse bully. Survivors get in touch alexlarsen@hotmail.co.uk Got a shit load of memories and stories. Kingston told all the boys I was in 'Coverntry' for something - he stuck me in the top room next to the older boys dorm (was it Raleigh?)
