C. A. Robinson Foundation Stone - relaid

Erection date: 5/12/2003

Inscription

This foundation stone was originally laid at the site of C. A. Robinson & Co, a metal recycling yard.
The stone was re-laid by Berkeley Homes and unveiled by Mrs Winifred Robinson on 5th December 2003 at 11:00am.

It's rare for a plaque to specify the time at which it was unveiled - we count ourselves fortunate if we get the year.
