Comments:
I visited the memorial on 27 May 2022 and have uploaded a new set of images, which show all names are clearly legible, but there is noticeable discolouration since the local council uploaded photos of the freshly cleaned memorial in 2018. There is also a very small amount of damage to the horizontal surfaces of the base, as shown in the photos attached to this condition report, but in my opinion it is very minor. HOWEVER, I've rated the overall condition as 'Poor' because I spotted two cracks in the vertical shaft of the cross, near the top. They are clearly visible in the photos attached to this report. They may be of no consequence - I'm not qualified to say.
