1875 Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 right not being originally from around these parts i was wondering if anyone could tell me the significance of the stone that stands in headwell avenue (in front of care home) as hte last couple of weeks have seen the council lay a path around it and place some wooden planters - im guessing its got historical interest but wondered why after the 20 yrs i lived here its just been done now?
