Hi to anng3 and bailzie.

Thank you both so much, I've copied 2 photos to print out, I'm meeting somebody tomorrow who knows Ken Buckley (now living in Maine USA) and his mother was the housekeeper at the Wenger House. I'll ask her to send the photos over and see what memories they provoke!
I've requested 2 Graham Bebbington books from the library also, so that will prove interesting reading. Thank you both.

anng3 - I think you have emailed me today? I have already met Sarah, and somebody else has been in touch with me on email, including somebody who lives on my road - it's a small, quiet cul-de-sac, so I'm excited to meet a neighbour and put a name to a face! Sadly I can't make the Ash Green event, I'm at Kibblestone with our Cubs. But I would love to meet up and have a look at the maps anyway? The history of the land is just one aspect of our anniversary event, but I'm so fascinated in how land changes and of course before photos we were reliant on people's memories!

Thank you both so much.x

I'm not sure how current this thread is, but I'm the Group Secretary for 114th Trentham Scout Group, now based in our own Scout Hut just off Churchill Avenue.

This year I'm planning a MayFair to celebrate 75 years of the Group itself, and several of us are looking into the history of the land we are currently on.

I've read with interest about the Wenger estate, and I've been told that our Scouthut is where the estate used to be. In all the threads I've read about running through a copse near Brook Road, and the entrance being near to the mausoleum, I don't yet feel I've come any closer to establishing the Wenger land boundaries. If anybody can share some light I'd be delighted to read it.
