 Environmental
Improvements
The Richmond Society plays a major rôle in identifying
and raising funds for environmental improvements, and seeing
them through to completion.
In 2004, we funded, designed and arranged for the installation
of an information board describing the historical development
of the Old Deer Park at the river end of Old Palace Lane.
Past projects have included:
- Provision of information boards for visitors to the Richmond
Hill Terrace, Riverside and Richmond Green.
- Restoration of the RSPCA Fountain at the top of Richmond
Hill, pictured right.
- Repaving and landscaping of the area at the top of Albany
Passage behind St Matthias Church, including restoration of the
original telephone box.
- Restoration and re-siting of the 18th Century Coadestone
River God statue in the Terrace Gardens.
- Preservation of the traditional telephone boxes on The Green
and at the top of Vineyard Passage.
- Restoration of the milestone on Kew Road at the junction
with Church Road.
We are always interested in receiving ideas for future projects.
