Comments:
The lettering on the wall and the tablets could do with cleaning, but is legible, and the memorial is structurally sound. Ordinarily it would classify as in fair condition. HOWEVER the drains from the rear of the memorial empty onto the pavement of the memorial area and are not draining from there. The result is that the pavement is deep in very glutinous mud, which is very unpleasant. I was luckily wearing wellingtons on this unplanned visit. Furthermore there is standing water at the entrance to the memorial area (technically Highways land). And I know we have had huge amounts of rain. So the general matter of drainage is in need of review by the custodians
