57: Thelma Ruby and Susan Cusack- Saving Wimbledon Park

Thelma Ruby - Theatrical Doye , ( most recently in the Amy Winehouse biopic),  and now Activist- has just turned 100 and yet beat me up the stairs to the spectacular view she has across Wimbledon Park, where Capability Brown's design has been preserved by the All- England tennis Club since it took on the stewardship in 1993, the year that Thelma moved in.  Now she contemplates watching this view dissolving into concrete infrastructure to support expansion of the prep phase of the tournament.  we were joined by Susan Cusack of www.savewimbledonpark.org to examine ( rather than drill down as it were) why they are passionate that this matters locally and, by test case,  far beyond.
