OBJECT – PERSUADE – ATTEND: Take it to the street – The Gower Telford • OBJECT – PERSUADE

Spreading the message with the Street Team

You’d be surprised how many local residents are unaware of the imminent threat to The Gower as a community asset. People who’d love to see a refurbished building back in use and who would be horrified to hear of the Council’s “cash before community” proposals. Awareness needs to be raised of the need to OBJECT to the proposals, PERSUADE other people and ATTEND the planning committee.

You may recall . . .

. . . that the building was originally built as a hospital by the Lilleshall Company who realised that a facility like this was needed for the wellbeing of its employees. However, things change and a smaller Cottage Hospital was built just a hundred yards away on Albion Street which provided local health care for some years. The Gower building was purchased from the Lilleshall Company to become a school known as Wrockwardine Wood Junior School. It provided education and learning to local children until it closed in 1961. The building continued to serve young people in St Georges and neighbouring districts when it was utilised as a Youth Centre and local venue, much loved throughout the community.
