Summary
Postcard (as yet undated) of the original "Fatherless Barn", with the Clent Hills in the background, sent by A. E. Goode to a Mr. C. C. Uphill of Estoril, Dorchester, Dorset. Today's Fatherless Barn estate was built for Halesowen Council in the early 1950's, presumably as soon as the wartime scarcity of building materials ended, and Caslon School was opened in 1953 to serve the new estate. --- our thanks to Dave Vickers for this image
