Maintenance History

Early 1930s: Moved from Post Office Square to the Northern edge of Broadgate Recreation Ground, abutting High Road.; Late 20C: Moved to the centre of Broadgate Recreation Ground.; The names inscribed on the rear of the memorial are illegible and have been for some time - a press account in March 1921 relating to the WW1 memorial states: "t is to be hoped that the new inscription to be placed hereon will be more legible and enduring a character than that on the monument in the post office square which is well nigh unreadable"
