Starting to put the roads in towards the Captain's House and Harbour has given me the opportunity to add another couple of lots as markers. One is the Alms Houses and the other the school. I have based the Alms Houses on three specific examples. Two are in the North East at Bamborough and Rothbury and the third is in Barnstaple in Devon. Community living for the elderly is nothing new and throughout UK history Alms Houses have been built. My lot tends more towards the Victorian period. Sadly CAW has removed the store content so there is work to do replacing doors and windows with something more appropriate. I intend this as a townie lot and will of course be sorting out the gardens and doing some more landscaping.

The design for the school is partly based on an elementary school I had attended. The building had been used to house WW2 prisoners of war while they worked on local farms. The windows in the class rooms still had bars on them and there were great locks on the doors. In an effort to make the place more acceptable to children the rooms were painted in bright colours and gardens at the edge of the playground were full of flowers.
