Centenary Tree Planting Ceremony

To celebrate the 100 years of the Progress Estate, long time resident Dorothy Powell from Maudslay Road took part in a ceremonial tree planting in the grounds of the Progress Hall in Admiral Seymour Road.

There have been 5 generations of the Powell/Garner family living on the estate, with the family being one of the first to move here, in 1915 (Whinyates Road).  Some of the surviving members of the family and other well-wishers joined Dorothy for the occasion.
