Overview

Foundation stone

Historical information

It was appropriate that the foundation stone of the Headquarters was laid by Mrs T C Wilson, for since joining CWA in 1926 she had attended every Conference and played no small part in moulding policies.
Headquarters was opened by Mrs Foxton just before Conference 1953 with the unveiling of a memorial plaque commemorating the benefactor, Mr Martin.
