Obituary ~ Adam Rock

Adam Rock

Adam Rock, who was a founder of Newington Green Action Group and an active participant in local regeneration for many years, died in April 2010.

His funeral will be on Friday 7th May at 2.30pm at the Unitarian Church and afterwards, there will be drinks in the Nobody Inn.

Adam had been in great pain through illness, for several years, and it is with sorrow that he died after long suffering. We extend our sympathy to his family and thanks for his life which stimulated the formation of our now thriving Action Group.

Our projection of Mary Wollstonecraft onto the Houses of Parliament even reached the BBC News 'Day in Pictures' on the internet. Our Mary on the Green campaign was not mentioned by name but the fact that we wish to erect a sculpture 'in honour of her contribution to equality and human rights' was stated.
