Thank you for that John. I would love to do more research and maybe access some files to do with the place regarding my relatives, however i am in England, so don't hold a library card .. lol .
And what a cute story bout your grandmother and mum... Just proves all walks of life were housed there and we shouldn't stereotype because we read the word Ayslum.
I will check out the newsarchive site.. see what i can find there.
