Did you know?
The Humble Beginnings of Lake Farm Centre.

In 1958/59 parents of disabled children and interested members of the public organised various fundraising drives and viewed properties in the Theescombe Lake Farm area.

It was decided to buy a portion of land on which an old and dilapidated country hotel, the Lake Farm Hotel, which was built during WWI, was situated. It was literally situated in the bush.

A lot of work needed doing. Volunteers, including parents, arrived to assist with er****on of fences, repairing roofs, interior renovations, etc. There were no running water and no electricity. A 12-volt engine, which power a few dim bulbs, were installed. A neighbouring farm supplied borehole water at sporadic intervals.

Hot water came from a fire heated 44-gallon drum. Two tubs on the grass were where laundry was done, and a cast iron was heated on a primus stove for ironing. A paraffin fridge, that continuously smoked, was used, and cooking was done on an Aga stove.

The first two children arrived and in November 1960 the Centre was officially licenced under the Mental Disorders Act of 1913.

(PS: We’ll share a little more history next month)
