Foundation stones were laid in June 1902. Memorial Stones were laid in October 1902. 13 people laid memorial stones (incl. Miss Ruth Pratt, C. Pratt ,the photographer's, sister). A time capsule was placed in a cavity beneath an unmarked stone. Everyone who paid 10s 6d (72 people) were allowed to lay a brick. see T&A article April 1958 and The Eastbrook Centenary Souvenir page 88 for further info.
