  • In August 1990 ‘The Malvern families’, comprising off a dozen adults with eight young children, some homeless, all in urgent need of housing, moved into and squatted nine derelict staff bungalows on The Crescent, in the grounds of St. Wulstan’s hospital, Malvern. <br />
<br />
The bungalows were initially without water or electricity , but were soon redecorated, repaired, doors and windows replaced. There was a community spirit, sharing transport and resources. Gardens were cleared, and with no traffic the children were able to run around and play wherever they wanted. The families got  water from wells on the Malvern Hills, and used camping stoves for cooking. In this idyllic rural retreat, the community lived in peace and hope for some months.<br />
<br />
However eviction notices were issued on the Malvern Families as the local health authority had agreed to sell the land to Bovis Homes for residential development. In October 1990 the squatters were due to be evicted but got a temporary reprieve while they appealed against a County Court Order at Worcester Crown Court. <br />
<br />
After five months of legal wrangling, the squatters’ appeal was lost and the families were eventually evicted by the High Sheriff on 28th January 1991. <br />
<br />
Armed with crowbars, supported by police, bailiffs entered the bungalows at St.Wulstan’s. Some of the squatters were dragged out. Furniture and belongings were dumped outside the bungalows.  It was a very traumatic event for those involved. Some families were initially housed in local bed & breakfast accommodation, while others moved in with friends, and some eventually left the country.

  • Exactly on the border crossing on the Dublin Road (Dublin to Belfast). N1 at the border of Ireland with Northern Ireland south of Newry, north of County Louth. Its the A1 Road in the north and N1 (National Primary Road) in the south. Easy to change your Euros for pounds, buy cheap petrol one side of the border, cheap drink the other. Many business exist because of the open borders. A hard border would gravely affect the economy of the border counties, and Ireland as a whole

  • In August 1990 ‘The Malvern families’, comprising off a dozen adults with eight young children, some homeless, all in urgent need of housing, moved into and squatted nine derelict staff bungalows on The Crescent, in the grounds of St. Wulstan’s hospital, Malvern. <br />
<br />
The bungalows were initially without water or electricity , but were soon redecorated, repaired, doors and windows replaced. There was a community spirit, sharing transport and resources. Gardens were cleared, and with no traffic the children were able to run around and play wherever they wanted. The families got  water from wells on the Malvern Hills, and used camping stoves for cooking. In this idyllic rural retreat, the community lived in peace and hope for some months.<br />
<br />
However eviction notices were issued on the Malvern Families as the local health authority had agreed to sell the land to Bovis Homes for residential development. In October 1990 the squatters were due to be evicted but got a temporary reprieve while they appealed against a County Court Order at Worcester Crown Court. <br />
<br />
After five months of legal wrangling, the squatters’ appeal was lost and the families were eventually evicted by the High Sheriff on 28th January 1991. <br />

  • In August 1990 ‘The Malvern families’, comprising off a dozen adults with eight young children, some homeless, all in urgent need of housing, moved into and squatted nine derelict staff bungalows on The Crescent, in the grounds of St. Wulstan’s hospital, Malvern. <br />
<br />
The bungalows were initially without water or electricity , but were soon redecorated, repaired, doors and windows replaced. There was a community spirit, sharing transport and resources. Gardens were cleared, and with no traffic the children were able to run around and play wherever they wanted. The families got  water from wells on the Malvern Hills, and used camping stoves for cooking. In this idyllic rural retreat, the community lived in peace and hope for some months.<br />

  • In August 1990 ‘The Malvern families’, comprising off a dozen adults with eight young children, some homeless, all in urgent need of housing, moved into and squatted nine derelict staff bungalows on The Crescent, in the grounds of St. Wulstan’s hospital, Malvern. <br />
<br />
The bungalows were initially without water or electricity , but were soon redecorated, repaired, doors and windows replaced. There was a community spirit, sharing transport and resources. Gardens were cleared, and with no traffic the children were able to run around and play wherever they wanted. The families got  water from wells on the Malvern Hills, and used camping stoves for cooking. In this idyllic rural retreat, the community lived in peace and hope for some months.<br />
<br />
However eviction notices were issued on the Malvern Families as the local health authority had agreed to sell the land to Bovis Homes for residential development. In October 1990 the squatters were due to be evicted but got a temporary reprieve while they appealed against a County Court Order at Worcester Crown Court. <br />
<br />
After five months of legal wrangling, the squatters’ appeal was lost and the families were eventually evicted by the High Sheriff on 28th January 1991. <br />
<br />
Armed with crowbars, supported by police, bailiffs entered the bungalows at St.Wulstan’s. Some of the squatters were dragged out. Furniture and belongings were dumped outside the bungalows.  It was a very traumatic event for those involved. Some families were initially housed in local bed & breakfast accommodation, while others moved in with friends, and some eventually left the country.

  • ‘Welcome to Northern Ireland’, the word northern painted over. At the border of Ireland with Northern Ireland south of Newry, north of County Louth. Its the A1 Road in the north and N1 (National Primary Road) in the south. Easy to change your Euros for pounds, buy cheap petrol one side of the border, cheap drink the other. Many business exist because of the open borders. A hard border would gravely affect the economy of the border counties, and Ireland as a whole
