Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust Development

A very wet visit to the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust's vision to create a vibrant new centre for village life around the Folk Hall in New Earswick. The Guild were shown round the new £24 million development with the main building housing a mix of residential care suites and extra care apartments.

​The development of New Lodge addresses the lack of housing for over 55s in York, as well as providing links to the newly-redeveloped Folk Hall. This traditionally constructed masonry project has the latest technology installed to monitor and keep safe residents in an independent environment.
