A couple of years ago this appeared at our nature reserve. Very nice bench and it has managed to stay undamaged. Can’t say much for the base though. Although I am surprised it has stayed in tact and clean. Kids, mostly teenagers, hang around this place dropping litter, smoking dope and generally making a mess of the place. So it has surprised me that is hasn’t been damaged. There has been some mud marks on it at times but that is about it.
I have heard about several of these benches around the country and saw one once in Wales, exactly the same. It was to commemorate the end of the first world war I think, it having ended a hundred years ago at the time of these benches being made.
