IN THE OLD HOSPITAL GROUNDS

Eston Residents Association are proud to announce details of the unveiling ceremony of our very special tribute feature to our proud Iron and Steel Workers and Eston Hospital. 

This will take place at 3pm on Friday 18^th June at the old Eston Hospital Site.

The feature has taken 2 years of hard work by ERA who have planned, designed and raised the funds through part funding application from Redcar and Cleveland Partnership and part funded by the association.

We would like to thank Persimmon Homes for giving us permission to fit the tribute here and also Carillion Co. Ltd for sponsoring the foundations and also The Sign Studio at Skippers Lane Industrial Estate for sponsoring the plaque.

This feature is also part of the ERA planned and designed heritage trail in Eston, which is included in our entry in the Britain in Bloom national finals.  We have put a lot of tremendous hard work over the last 18 months into this, a true community project.

James Godbold Blacksmiths, has made the feature to our drawings and has been approached by a national wrought iron maker's magazine who are awaiting the fitting and unveiling to publish it in their magazine

Chair of the Association Ann Higgins was awarded an RHS Britain in Bloom Community Champion Award and Eston also received an RHS 'Local Roots' Discretionary Award - the judges thought Eston showed how the community worked together to present a fantastic result and awarded them the Cultural Diversity award.

 This is another fantastic achievement for Eston (particularly as this is the first time we have entered Britain in Bloom) and words cannot describe how proud we are of what we have achieved in the last couple of weeks.  We couldn't have done it without the support of the whole community - for which we say a huge thank you!
