Spring Grove House Refurbishment and…. A Tree—mendous idea A refurbishment programme has begun at the London Rd site which will see the demolition of the 1960s concrete monstrosities that surround Spring Grove House and a sympathetic redevelopment of the site, detailed in < SGH refurbishment > or the link at the top of this page. At the October 2007 reunion Sandra and Diane Waite (’57 & ‘60) had the great idea that, since there was to be additional planting and landscaping for the new redevelopment scheme, we, the OSGs, should donate a tree. Preferably a cedar tree. The idea has been warmly received. We are trying to cost the project with the National Tree Centre at Westonbirt, they have shown great interest in supplying a tree in the “Banks Tradition”. There ia a suggestion that a commemorative plaque be “unveiled “ at the “final (?)” 2012 reunion, after all the work is completed. We have opened a fund to finance the tree which could become, perhaps, the “L.T.Brown Cedar” and be dedicated to OSGs who were lucky enough to have been educated at Spring Grove or any other fitting dedication. Please send your donation to Pam contact her as below. Your thoughts and suggestions on the subject are welcomed. Contact us via the e-mail links below. |
