Heartless thieves dig up remembrance tree from Rotten Row

9th April 2020

It is with great sadness that we have to report a theft from the borders of Rotten Row.

Brian Quinn said “We, Friends of Rotten Row together with the family of Maureen Booth, planted an Oak sapling in remembrance of Maureen in 2018.
“Sometime between Tuesday midday and Thursday morning, of this week, we found that the sapling had been uprooted and taken.“
“This is a theft of the lowest kind in taking a tree planted in remembrance of someone, especially as this tree was very special to Maureen as the acorn that she obtained and grew came from Prince Charles Estate and called it “Charlie Boy”.
If anyone witnessed the theft or knows of anyone involved please contact Merseyside Police on 101.
