Information from April 1988 newsletter.

For a while this was a “Mental Handicap Services Unit” within Portsmouth and South East Hampshire Health Authority. A monthly newsletter called “The Grapevine (official)” was produced. The April 1988 issue included information on the history of Coldeast. Some of the information in the newsletter seems to differ from the article and some adds to the article. Some newsletter information is given below:

The Mansion at Coldeast is believed to have been built in the first half of the19th Century for Admiral Hood… Most of this land has since been sold, although some is still owned by the Hood family [at the time of the newsletter 1988]. ...Later, the Coldeast Estate was sold to Mr Quinton Hogg, founder of the London Polytechnic, who later sold it to the Montefiore family. ...The estate was put up for auction on the direction of Claud J. Goldsmith Montefiore, Esq., on the 11 June 1924 and was sold in lots and split up. In April, 1925 Hampshire County Council purchased from Mr Newbury and others, the Mansion and about 170 acres for development as a Mental Deficiency Colony…

The newsletter information also describes the facility from 1928 and the use of some of the Villas during the second world war as an emergency hospital.

Is the information in the newsletter of interest? The newsletter does not include sources. I can upload a scan if that will help. Evans-F844590 (talk) 22:12, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
