Project Summary
To commemorate the Centenary of the Skelmorlie Reservoir Disaster our wee Garden Group adopted a piece of land..sourced a Memorial via the British Dams Society..and have sympathetically planted a Memorial Garden.Project Description
We are looking to install a bench at the Memorial..as a group we feel this would be the finishing touch.
On the day of the memorial unveiling..18th April 2025..four direct relatives of those souls who perished that day 100 years ago attented.
We feel a bench would offer a place to linger in quiet contemplation and remembrance.
The residents of our village are so positive about this space said bench would offer them the chance to pay their respects..to sit..enjoy the view and the plants too.
As in previous years we have approached Kevin Hutchinson who works locally..Largs.
Kevin has furnished us with fabulous benches for the Community Garden..we have approached him and asked for a version of the previous bench design with the addition of a planter at either end..finished in black.
He has estimated a cost of £165.
Location: Junction where The Crescent,Halketburn Road and Eglinton Terrace meet
Proposed on behalf of: Skelmorlie Community Garden Group
