Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust (JRHT) celebrated the topping out of Willow Bank, a 117-home affordable housing scheme in New Earswick, York, at a ceremony on 22 October. The development is being delivered in partnership with Esh Construction.
The scheme promises modern, high-quality homes designed to reflect the original garden village character of New Earswick, which was founded by Joseph Rowntree in 1902. The first homes are expected to be ready for residents in 2027.
Rich Thomas, director of assets and investments at JRHT, said: 'It's fantastic to reach this milestone and see the first home at Willow Bank taking shape.'

The ceremony brought together residents, students, construction staff, councillors and Luke Charters MP.
