Project Fenbury
I recently reinstalled TS3 and decided to start again with Project Fenbury. I am somewhat embarrassed as I am not gifted with use of CAW but I am pleased with the progress I have made so far. For ba...

I've been having trouble with my image hosting site so am trying a new one. I split my project time between CAW and building. I am currently working on a community lot, in this case the hospital. Once I get myself sorted with rabbit hole rugs, I want to edit Fenbury in game and add this lot. It is important to me because it represents the early 20th century health care of the UK pre NHS. In a lot of small towns people paid what they could to set up memorial hospitals in remembrance of the fallen in WW1. These were true community hospitals and integral parts of the communities they served. Many survived the advent of the NHS but there are very few of them left today. The one in the town where I lived as a small child is now a derelict building awaiting demolition. This post shows both the inside and exterior of the hospital. I wanted to decorate the interior because I know we have all tried to look into community lots and been very disappointed. It is a work in progress. I shall be going into buydebug to find the necessary bits and pieces to mark it as a hospital. It will eventually be placed on a cliff top. I would like to think that returning hero sims got a chance to recuperate here and had wonderful views to lift their spirits.

Front note the roof line which is all over the place. This is typical of Cotswold architecture.

Entrance hall note the huge space at the front where the rabbithole rug will go.

Two ward views. I cannot think of a way of hanging privacy curtains unless I use MOO. Am mulling that one over.

Back view not the balcony and french doors from the wards. Patients would have been encouraged to get as much fresh air as possible in the 1930s. TB was very common both in the UK and the US then.

This shot shows the lift shaft and the A&E with the operating theatre above it. Even the cottage hospitals and memorial hospitals still open today have a minor injuries unit. In the old days the local doctors would also have been surgeons as well. Specialists were found in the major teaching hospitals or Harley Street in London for the wealthy.
Not sure whether I have bored or entertained. I have two other community lots as WIP. Let me know if you want to see pics of those.
