I wonder if HM will return and do a new reopening

By the time they've finished I think it may be Prince George opening it Wink

The plaque to commemorate the occasion is still in place, I think.

The modernisation seems to be progressing at a fair rate of knots, Lolly. Smile

Excellent jo anne. When all this pandemic malarky is over I will make an effort to come and have a gander Thumbs Up

The plaque’s now gone - remnants of its red brick plinth are behind the left fence panel.

Jo anne. Do you know if it will be replaced, has it been kept safe somewhere?

by jo anne Sun Jan 31, 2021 7:39 pm

Hopefully so, but I don’t know, Lolly. I just noticed it had gone when I walked past recently.

It would be a shame if it had been stolen. I hope the council removed it to maybe use it at a later date.
