Bransholme is an area or housing estate situated on the north-eastern side of Kingston upon Hull, England. The name Bransholme comes from an old Scandinavian word meaning Brand's water meadow. This blog hopes to bring together research about the area, its history and its residents. This research will inform the arts strand of the NHS' health centre planned for Bransholme.

Trip to Orchard Park

As Gisele used to work on the LIFT arts programme she kindly took me to a health centre which she co-ordinated the arts for - the Orchard Park centre near to Bransholme.



I really liked the randomly placed coloured floor tiles. And the arrowed sigage made a nice change from the blue and white signage you usually find in hospitals and health centres.







Bees are quite popular in Hull it would seem and there is the Beverly Bee Keepers Association www.beverleybeekeepers.co.uk

Trip to Oncology Wing

Not strictly research into Bransholme but we thought it would be interesting to see another example of arts in a health centre - the oncology unit at Castle Hill which is quite contrasting to the more urban Orchard Park. The oncology wing had a really nice feel to it and the building seemed to really reflect its surroundings well. The green views and curved roof make the atrium a pleasant and relaxing to be!
