Stollery Close

Stollery Close: George Stollery and his family lived in and around Kesgrave from the 1920’s moving between Holly Road, Main Road and Carlton Road. George was the founder chairman of the committee set up to decide how to honour the Kesgrave people who had served during the war and thus the Kesgrave War Memorial Community Centre started. George himself fought at the Somme in the 1st World War. After seeing the opening of our fine new hall, he died in 1991 aged 92. His photograph now hangs in the entrance hall. Another link between these two roads is that Eileen Adams, Roy Adams wife, is George Stollery’s daughter.
