About the memorial: During works to the bus depot the memorial was damaged as it fell off the wall and shattered. A like-for-like replacement was commissioned to ensure those remembered by the memorial continue to be commemorated. A like-for-like replacement respects the design chosen by those who commissioned the memorial to remember their colleagues. The replacement memorial matches the original in materials, size, design and inscriptions and is fixed in the original location. All fixings used were non-ferrous and with appropriate resin; no cement was used in attaching the memorial as it is an inappropriate material in this situation.The original memorial was made by T.J. Jordan and Sons.
