While searching the internet for memorials in my area I came across this story reported in the local newspaper.
rememberwhen.gazettelive.co.uk/2009/06/r...en-war-memorial.html
The story starts in 2009 and is updated this year, a voluntary group have restored the memorial and they have done a great job.

The next time I am in Redcar I intend to pay a visit.
