Mill Rise (Apr 09)

Burying of a time capsule at the Millrise extra care centre (Apr 09)
Region: Cross Heath

In April 2009 pupils from Knutton St. Mary's Primary CE School helped bury a time capsule on the site of Newcastle's first, 60-bed extra-care development for older people - Mill Rise Village in Cross Heath. Site manager Neil Slater is pictured burying the capsule which contained photographs, a book, and a school uniform.

It looks absolutely brilliant, as good as a new house! It makes me feel proud to live here.

I will be glad to go. It’s not a nice place to live... There’s no community left here any more.
