THE CENTRE OF THE UNIVERSE, HOPEMAN, HIGHLANDS CLEARANCE TOWN by Homes of Football

In the years running up to the formation of The Football Associations and other unions, there were the Highland Clearances – moving folk out of their small homes demolished and set on fire… nudging the dispossessed towards the seas.

HOPEMAN was set up as an entirely new coastal town.

Cantered on the ‘village green’.
