Footpath in Thistle Hill Community Woodland
This footpath leads through a wide band of newly planted (2002) woodland, leading from Scocles Road, near Scocles Farm to Thistle Hill Way. Past a carpark for woodland visitors, then onto another band of woodland on a path to Barton Hill Drive, Minster. Several grass paths lead through the woodland. Pleasant dog walking for new owners of new housing estates nearby.

Sheppey Community Hospital
The new hospital opened in 2002 to replace the old one which was the other side of Minster and was already pretty run-down when my daughter was born there in 1979. In fact, for quite a while, islanders needing hospital care had to travel to Medway for it.
