GARSTANG LOCALS ENCOURAGED TO GET INVOLVED IN A PART OF HISTORY – WHAT WOULD YOU INCLUDE IN A TIME CAPSULE?

Garstang locals are being invited to submit their ideas of items to be included in a time capsule by McCarthy Stone the leading manager and developer of retirement communities, behind the Retirement Living development, Stanley Place on Kepple Lane.

Three submissions will be chosen by homeowners and the McCarthy Stone team at Stanley Place who will then have their items included in a time capsule set to be buried in the development’s garden early next year.

Fiona Brookes, Divisional Sales Director at McCarthy Stone, said: “We are super excited to be burying a time capsule at our new Stanley Place Retirement Living development – to commemorate the start of our new community, but also recognise the wonderful generations that have gone before. at the time capsule offers the perfect way to   create a lasting memory of the local area for years to come.

“We encourage people in Garstang to enter the competition by thinking about what is important to them, and what they’d like someone to uncover in 100 years – it could be a map, a newspaper article, a photo or even a diary entry – the choice is up to them.”

Each entrant is permitted to submit a maximum of three ideas. These should be emailed to [email protected] by the closing date of Friday 30th December with ‘Garstang Time Capsule Contest’ in the subject.  In your email, you should include your full name and reasons why you think your ideas should be included.

McCarthy Stone’s Stanley Place Retirement Living development is situated in close proximity to the Stanley Gardens Retirement Living development, which is now fully sold out.

Bordering the beautiful River Wyre, Stanley Place and Stanley Gardens are surrounded by countryside whilst being located in the popular market town of Garstang. A stylish communal lounge perfect for socialising with friends and neighbours and a hotel style guest suite which offers a home for family and friends, Stanley Place provides an ideal downsizing option for retirees.

Stanley Place offers a choice of one- and two-bedroom apartments tailor-made for those looking to downsize to a community of like-minded people where they can enjoy embracing the life they want to live.

At Stanley Place, a one-bedroom apartment is currently priced from £201,999 and a two-bedroom starts at £302,999.

More than nine out of 10 customers would recommend McCarthy Stone to a friend, ensuring it has received the full Five Star award for customer satisfaction from the Home Builders Federation. McCarthy Stone is the only UK housebuilder of any size or type to achieve this rating every year we have taken part in the survey.
