Newsflash: Local History site uncovered

Dear {usertag:name}

Local John Booth has alerted us to the uncovering of the old brickworks kiln under the carpark at Ferny Grove Station. Bricks were uncovered on Saturday.

This is a pretty key historical site for Ferny Grove. At present as far as we know the workers on the project are just planning to ditch the bricks to the tip.

They have been covered up with more soil from the excavation.

First thing Monday morning is probably the only chance to get down to the Ferny Grove Station site and seek to try to salvage at least some of the bricks if there is to be any chance of this happening. I imagine the earlier the better.

We’ll also email Geoff Wilson’s office about this find.

If you can come along or offer your support in principal for trying to save some of the bricks please give John a ring on 3851 1016.

Regards
