17 Jul 08 - Well maybe it's a bit of a contentious idea, but for better or worse I thought it might be time for a Woodlands Group to remember some of New Westminster's oldest heritage buildings now gone. Feel free to add photos of Woodlands other buildings and any interior or historical shots as well!

About Woodlands SchoolEstablished on the New Westminster cricket pitch in 1878, the Public Hospital for the Insane was a castlelike fortress overlooking the B.C. Penitentiary and the Fraser River. In 1950, the B.C. government, which ran the facility, decided to separate disabled children from adult lunatics (who were sent to Essondale), and the institution was renamed the Woodlands School. Woodlands became home to the province's unwanted kids. |
