A war memorial in Plymouth has been deep cleaned and restored ahead of Remembrance Day.
The grade II listed war memorial at Plympton St Maurice has been deep cleaned ahead of Remembrance SundayThe Grade II listed memorial at Plympton St Maurice was restored by a former Army veteran who runs a community interest company in Kent.
“The biggest problem was getting the permissions because the monument is Grade II listed, so it took from May to October to get in touch with the right people. “I’m not here to make money, I am here to cover my costs. I have cleaned over 1,000 graves, about 30 memorials and about 10 statues," he said.
He added: “It takes two to three days to work but by Sunday, especially if it is dry, it will look immaculate."
