Spring Grove House Refurbishment and…..An OSG Cedar Tree A refurbishment programme has begun at the London Rd site which will see the demolition of the 1960s concrete monstrosities that surrounded Spring Grove House and a sympathetic, modern and imaginative redevelopment of the site. The major work started in October 2008. The pictures below were taken on October 8th 2008, 19th November 2008 and 6th March 2009 from roughly the same position.

L.T.Brown Cedar
2nd May 2009 The Tree Fund has, so far, received:- 60 Donations:- £1199.00 Thank you (our tree is growing!) The original target, by Sept. 2011, was 150 donations & £1,500.00 which would have bought a 6 metre tree plus dedication plaque. 150 donations is still the target but your generosity should enable the purchase of a more significant tree.
The new tree will be planted just to the North of the existing cedar tree in the rebuilding photos on this page. (It would appear above the digger arm in the top photo) |

THE L.T.BROWN CEDAR FUND 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 by the refurbishment committee. It is suggested that a commemorative plaque be “unveiled “ at the “final (?)” 2012 reunion, after all the work is completed. We have opened a fund, see the green box on this page, to finance the tree and dedication plaque 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. Your thoughts and suggestions on the subject are welcomed. Contact us via the e-mail links below. Please send your donation to Pam Isom; contact her as below. Cheques payable to P.Isom please marked “Tree Fund”. You can also donate via a PayPal account; make payment to ray_pearce@msn.com and annotate the payment “tree fund”. A secure & easy method for overseas donations, for more info click < Paypal > |
