About the memorial: Brick built memorial gateway. Originally there were metal gates which were subsequently lost. There were also two bronze memorial plaques which were relocated to the new school when the original school closed.The present Blandford School is in Milldown Road, but the original Blandford Grammar School was in Damory Street, where the Memorial gate remains as the pedestrian entrance to a housing development. It is built into the wall, but is the wall the responsibility of the council or the estate?
