Opening up the rear courtyard for everyone to see

A new “see-through” metal gate has now been installed at Tradescant’s Retreat – the courtyard and garden area at the rear of the library. So people walking along Wilcox Close can get a clear view of the garden that Friends and the gardening group looks after, and the pleasant open patio area with table and chairs for alfresco meetings.

Our thanks go to CLS Holdings plc, which paid for the gate and associated security work that will allow greater use of Tradescant’s Retreat.
