CENTRAL HILL JOURNAL

Planter making and botanical bag printing, an event run by CHERA on the Central Hill Estate, 28th May 2022.

High Limes, Central Hill Estate.

Truslove House was a seven studio apartment building purpose set to house temporary residents who have found themselves in difficult situations. The house was initially built at the outset of the estate to provide housing to nurses who were training in the area. It was since converted for use to house temporary and vulnerable tenants. Truslove House has now been completely demolished as Phase one of plans to completely demolish Central Hill Estate. Today, residents have watched as all of the mature trees which stood around the parameter of the House, providing greenery around the house, homes to birds and squirrels and contributing to the clean air of the area, we're completely felled and eradicated.

The flats in the estate which currently stand were designed with fine detail towards liveability and cohabitation. Each of the flats were built toward a panoramic view of the city in the horizon, or around the sun path of a day with trees dappling light through windows.
