Children from a local school have buried a time capsule of drawings at our Castleward development in Derby.
We invited children from nearby St James and Rosehill Federation School to draw pictures of how they think Castleward might look in 50 years’ time. They then helped to bury the time capsule containing their drawings in the development’s new public space, Liversage Square.
They also tried out the new play equipment on Liversage Square, and had a look at our Show Homes.
Rachel Webster, a teacher at the school, said: “The children had a fantastic time at Castleward. They really enjoyed the process of making their pictures and burying them in the capsule – it’s a lovely idea. We hope the children will be able to show their own children their pieces of art in 50 years’ time when the time capsule is uncovered.”
We were delighted that so many of the children joined us to help to bury the time capsule. We also enclosed in the time capsule descriptions of both the Castleward scheme and the time capsule project.
We hope that in 50 years time, when we open the capsule, some of the children will be able to return to recover their art!
