Splitting the blocks must have been a job! We wondered when the blocks were removed and Colin now advises us: ”The blocks must have been removed between 1977 and 1981 as one of the blocks reads MUFC (Manchester United Football Club) FA Cup 1977 .” Colin also tell us: ” These blocks were a great challenge for all us ”’grovers”; there was about 20 of them each had about a six foot gap between them and it was a great achievement when you could start at the top and jump from block to block all the way to the bottom.”
