Poppy Trail in Maurice Lea Park

As part of the World War One Centenary commemorations the below picture and links refer to the Poppy Trail around Maurice Lea Park in Church Gresley. 



The booklet, which is well worth a read, can be found in the Tourist Information Centre at Sharpes Pottery in Swadlincote and is also available online via the South Derbyshire District Council website at the bottom of the following link:

The booklet provides some excellent and interesting information about Maurice Lea, Herbert Lea as well as about the development of the park.  It also provides some information on some of the groups involved in publishing the leaflet and those involved in the commemoration events.
