Tree

The LCC began in March 1889 so this tree commemorates 50 years. The only reference we can find to a celebration of this jubilee is a reference to a Jubilee Exhibition of the London County Council at the County Hall Westminster.  Semantic Scholar quotes some text, "Published 1939 The British Journal of Occupational Therapy" which refers to one particular aspect of the exhibition: "Mental Hospitals of the L.C.C. are to be congratulated an {sic} the excellent work sent in from their Occupation Departments. The exhibits sent from mental defectives were particularly good and of high standard, the ingenuity of some of the exhibits show the real creative power which had been given by the Occupational Therapists....".

Presumably the state of international relations rather detracted attention from this jubilee and we are lucky to have this tree.
