Back to Camberwell plaques

 

In the small public garden beside the Primary School, a granite drinking fountain is dedicated to the memory of a former pupil of the School. Henry Rooks (1864-1930) was a coachbuilder in Camberwell in partnership with his brother Edward.

 

Cr. Henry Rooks is recorded as being a Justice of the Peace, President of Boroondara Shire in 1900 and Mayor of the City of Camberwell in 1910, 1913 and 1926.
