Many plaudits have come the way of Brigg Town Council since it stepped into the breach once more to fund restoration of the Monument war memorial in time for last November’s Remembrance Day ceremony.
Now the final phase of the scheme seems set to go ahead in the near future – restoring and re-cutting the detail of the Brigg crest on the rear of the structure (close to the A18, facing Bigby Road). This will cost £400, plus VAT.
This crest (pictured above) was uncovered in the stonework by a specialist contractor brought in to carry out the work last autumn.
Coun Jackie Brock said the top half of the crest had become very eroded and rough and stressed: “It would be a shame not to complete that detail.”
The Monument was erected a few years after the 1914-18 First World War and gifted to the town by a local benefactor.
It carries the names of Brigg’s war dead and the initial phase of the Town Council’s restoration project included re-doing all the lettering to a very high standard.
