Kington Forge
The handrail has now been completed by Marcus Henke of Kington Forge in Herefordshire. [August 2010]
[ Kington Forge]

Installation has now taken place. Planning for Phase 2 of the project, the repair and renovation of the memorial and the area surrounding it, is now underway.

The uprights supporting the handrail were designed to harmonise with the iconic lamps at each side of the processional steps leading up to the war memorial. These supports have been treated with a transparent wax for the moment. Weathering will darken the colour slightly and the intention to to allow this to happen and then see if the shading needs to be adjusted.
