A stone memorial with engraved plaques listing names stands in a grassy cemetery. A wreath of red poppies lies at its base.

Cemetery memorial repaired and repainted by College team

Staff from Stamford College have refurbished and redecorated the Williamson Cliff Brick Works Memorial at the Cemetery on Radcliffe Road.

The original Memorial to brick workers who fought in the Second World War was demolished when the Williamson Cliff Brick Works was knocked down after its closure. Relatives of those named on the Memorial salvaged through the site to find the remains, which were reassembled into the existing Memorial by Stamford College and rededicated in 2013.

Two lecturers from Stamford College, Tom Deignan and Phil Prout, volunteered to paint and carry out repairs required at the Memorial, including painting and repairing the base of the structure.

We’d like to give our sincere thanks to Stamford College for funding the project and the pair for their hard work and support with this project.
