Chance meeting sees descendant of Victorian steel magnate join trustees working to preserve landmark in his name
The great-great-great-granddaughter of a pioneering Victorian steel magnate is helping to restore a landmark named in his honour after a chance meeting with the visionary behind the multi-million pound project.
Charlotte Summers was in Flintshire visiting her partner James’ family when they decided to go for a bike ride and see the Grade-II listed John Summers Clock Tower in Deeside.
While posing for a photo outside the building, Enbarr Foundation CIC director Vicki Roskams – who is spearheading reconstruction of the dilapidated site – offered to take a picture of the couple.
