Another view of the Willis-Fleming memorial at Havenstreet.
Interesting mix of building materials: stone tiles, oak carpentry and wrought iron trimmings and gates. With the masonry being the humble breeze block. Perhaps breeze block was a respectable - modern even - building material at the time but it is hard to see English Heritage using the stuff in one of their renovations. Maybe they have the excuse that, with the demise of both steel and gas works, it is hard to get it.
A little run down, but still in use with the most recent tablet being dated 6th January 2015.
At the pub they thought that there was more than one memorial of this sort. One of the others might be that at reference 1.
