Life at Ransom Wood is about little stories that make the place a community– the world cup, the lost dog, the chickens in the quad, horses loose by the willows, the case of the squirrel stealing the office apples. Over the years we have had a scuba dive training school using our old water tanks, the fire service using the old hospital tunnels to simulate fire evacuations in and much more.
Over the years we have seen a rapid expansion of entrepreneurs moving into the park and each of these adds to our story. Our tenants have a real ownership in the site – take for example Carol at Brides at Mothers who puts flowers in the planters outside her rooms putting a smile on peoples faces when hey arrive. In beech house we even have a business with a greenhouse on their office terrace.
Dogs have also become a part of the Ransom Wood story – many people on the park bring their dogs to work including my Lab Thanda. We even had a resident bringing their chickens in – what a great continuity to the past when the hospital used to keep live stock here.
The park squirrels also add a special character – there is a camicazy army of them – as you go up the drive they line up and wait till you are about to pass then they jump out at you. You arrive at your office, park up and then they sit in the trees and bomb you with acorns.
