About the memorial: One of a series of sculptures by Frank Meisler 'The Arrival' shows a group of five children cast in bronze positioned at the end of a piece of railway line cast in the same material. The scene of three girls and two boys, of various ages, are depicted with their suitcases. The youngest child who sits on one of the cases holds her toy. Around the edge of the plinth on which the figures are positioned are small blocks inscribed with the places from which the children came. On the Piazza outside the station. On the plinth there are 6 raised names of places on the south side and 10 on the north side. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- City of London East Walk:
