In the second picture,the fifth person along from the left, (you can just see his face), is my brother Trevor who spent a few years there. He had cerebral palsy and epilepsy. I have to say he didnt like it there although I think he just didn't like being away from home. Can't say I blamed him at the time. I remember Mum and Dad sent one of our teddy bears to Searchlight to be refurbished. The Teddy is still ok and sits on my landing to this day.
