Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Year

To mark Queen Elizabeth’s record-breaking 70 years on the throne and the first British Monarch ever to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, the Crosspool Forum volunteers transformed the Crosspool Shopping Precinct into a sea of patriotic red, white and blue flags, bunting, floral displays, and hanging baskets.

The Heart of Crosspool

Scott Barton was the original person to trim the ivy on the wall of the Hallam football/cricket club in Sandygate Road into a heart..

Since then Jenny H with her very creative friend Jo and her mum Anne and pal Ian Knowles has created some 16 heart changes throughout the seasons, the latest being to celebrate the Queens Platinum Jubilee. They have really enjoyed doing each one and are grateful for all the wonderful compliments, hoots, thumbs-ups, and smiles as people go past!
