PARK Prewett Hospital: The community association has started a project on the history and story of Park Prewett Hospital and Rooksdown House. They are looking for stories, pictures and records that can be captured and used as a resource for local residents to understand the local and national historical significance of Rooksdown.
From its time as a farm and part of the Vyne Estate, an international centre of excellence for plastic surgery, also during the time spent as a Canadian war hospital, through to being the second Hampshire county psychiatric hospital covering north Hampshire and beyond.
The project is being coordinated by Claire, in the community office, and she can be contacted on 01256 869626 or by e-mail: admin@rooksdownonline.com.
NEW school: It is exciting to see the final touches being completed for the new Castle Hill Primary School – Rooksdown Campus ready for its opening in September.
