Hello All, Thank you all for the rapid reply to my question - you must be burning the midnight oil in the UK! I had wondered if it might be a residential home. I can find no telephone directory entry of a place called "Cherry Garth". Does it go under a different name?

Hi Ailsa, Go to www.118118,com/search , select the "Business Search" option & enter "Cherry Garth Residential Home" for the business name. For the address enter "Sowerby, Thirsk, Yorkshire". This brings up only one entry:- Cherry Garth Home, Chapel Street, THIRSK, North Yorkshire. YO7 1LX. Phone 01845 523189. I know Thirsk, but not well enough to know where Chapel Street is. I also know that Sowerby is part of Thirsk. Hope that this is of some help in your quest. Cheers, Don.
