The Cottages & Units....

Here's a list of cottages and units at ESSH for those who forgot; when I was there in 88-89 some of the cottages were just used for storage.  After talking to a few people who were there in the later years, some of the cottages/units changed, for instance; when I was there unit 2 & 4 were for boys located in the main building, unit 1 & 3 were for girls, however that might of been different when you were there!

Andalusia, Buckingham, Croyden, Durham, Eddington, Fallsington, Grier, Harrow, Ivyland, Jamison, Keith, and Langhorne..The name New Hope was given to Langhorne in the last few years of operation and housed boys who had more freedoms and liberties and required less supervision. Croyden and Durham were for little boys. Andalusia at one time housed little girls.

The main building had 3 levels, the main level had offices, the second level is where the units 1-4 were located, the 3rd floor was where the forensic unit was located, this was a lockdown!

Old pictures, old memories!
