Dame Gladys was born in a house on Ennersdale Road in Hither Green in 1888. After appearing in numerous stage productions she went on to have a successful career in film, picking up three Academy Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress.

I was delighted to be invited to the unveiling and it was lovely to meet Dame Gladys' daughter Sally along with Mr & Mrs Pryce (pictured right), the current owners of the house in which Dame Gladys was born.
