Littlemoss Memorial Gardens

Sunday 14 June 2009

Thanks must go to Sandra Street and her committee for driving this project.




The Littlemoss War Memorial Garden Committee, supported by your 3 Labour Councillors, Susan Quinn, Kieran Quinn and Jim Middleton, successfully bid for money from the Fairshare group to return this area to it’s former glory.


A place of tranquillity, to honour those from our community who fought for peace and never returned. The war memorials in Droylsden honour the brave men and women from our town who died fighting the tyranny and hate that fascism breeds.

The main work on the perimiter has now finished and the next steps are planting and the placing of a special stone plinth to place the names of the fallen, it will then be "officially" opened.





Recently the garden committee members let residents see where they were up to and also discuss with residents the next steps.
Here we see Jack with Cllr Jim Middleton.








The day was marked when Cllr Jack Davis (at the time the Mayor of Tameside) and a former Littlemoss resident formally planted a symbolic new shrub to mark the garden’s next phase.


















Just as Jack arrived the heavens opened. However a great time was had by all and maybe who knows - an annual event may have been born.
