On November 8th 2012 members of the Froyle Parish Plan group visited the site and Barry Clark took the photographs in the November 2012 gallery. On November 22nd the Nicolas James Group made a presentation in Froyle Village Hall to the whole village of their regeneration proposal for the site – download a copy of the proposal (PDF).
In April 2013 East Hants District Council passed the development plans, and work has begun on the site. At the beginning of December 2014 the finishing touches were made to the complex.
We are recording the transformation of, initially “Froyle Place”, and, ultimately the whole site. This is a project that will, most likely, last up to five years. The list below takes you through the various stages, starting with Barry Clark’s 2012 photographs, followed by those taken by The Froyle Archive.
