Ashfield was originally a tranquil and productive nursery site and house. It had been a hub of activity over the years, but eventually fell into a state of disrepair.
ACE, a group of local people who reclaimed the land and facilities on behalf of the community, was founded and successfully secured a BIG Lottery Fund totaling over £400,000 enabling the purchase site and its redevelopment it into a now thriving and continually evolving environment for the community.
