Greenwich news and information
Thanks to Fergal for sending me this picture of a fallen tree at Glenister Green. It has come down in today’s high winds and landed right by the pedestrian crossing on Woolwich Road near the junction near Annandale Road.
Fergal writes, “It’s clear from the broken stump that the tree was riddled with rot, which makes me wonder if any of the other trees there are in the same condition and likely to come down with the next big storm.”
According to the information panel, this mosaic was created by Phillippa Threlfall in 1974, after being commissioned by the Department of Health for East Greenwich District Hospital. It was moved to its current local in Glenister Green, in Woolwich Road, in 2007, at which time Phillippa Threlfall was invited back to undertake restoration and minor repairs. If you look in at the panel 2nd from top right in the picture above, you can see Threlfall’s “signature”. Click on the pictures to see in larger sizes.
