Alan's secret war

Secret Cumbria

Available for over a year

Alan Kelly confronts his demons at the Keswick orphanage he was evacuated to during WWII. It was here that his mother, and the headmaster kept a terrible secret from him, that 84 years later still haunts him. Situated on the beautiful shores of Derwentwater, this innocent looking villa, became a theatre of cruelty that was ruled over by one man. Andrew Carter returns with Alan and his family, as they learn about his secret war . . . . .
