Tunbridge Wells Pandemic Memory TreeLasting Impressions – Tunbridge Wells Pandemic Memory Tree is a community project run by Tunbridge Wells Borough Council, in partnership with Tunbridge Wells Hospital. We have created a quilted tree wall hanging, with leaves made by members of the local community depicting their memories, reflections, and experiences of living through the Covid-19 pandemic. To view the tree, stop by the Amelia Scott building, where it is on display in the Green Room opposite the children's library. | | |
