EX-PUPILS from a historic site in Redcar returned last week to give their verdict on a multi-million pound refurbishment scheme.
The 325-year-old Sir William Turner's Hospital in Kirkleatham operated as an educational centre for five years between 1937 and 1942 before being converted to social housing for elderly people.
The building is undergoing extensive refurbishment to bring its accommodation up to twenty-first century standards.
The group of former pupils toured the seventeenth century site and chapel accompanied by Peter Southeran, chairman of the board of trustees.
The group included Nancy Bendelow, who returned to Redcar from her home in Australia as part of a visit to see friends and family.
