On Saturday January 11th Weeley in Bloom were delighted to unveil a life size figure of a soldier from the Napoleonic times on the site at Second Avenue. Beautifully carved by Rusty, Marnic Wood Carving, the figure is to honour this part of Weeley’s heritage, now that the Hospital and Barracks field are being built on. It will hopefully be a reminder of those times, and inform residents and visitors about this part of Weeley’s past. The History Board to accompany the figure was compiled by Rob Butcher and the Weeley History Group. Planting is being planned around the structures in the spring.
