Chelsea Embankment memorial - restored

Erection date: 1992

Inscription

Directorate of Highways and Traffic
Restored 1992
The Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea

An unusually decorative and high quality plaque for such a mundane event. We don't know whether it refers to a restoration of just the memorial, or the garden behind, or even the whole embankment.

SW3, Chelsea Embankment, Albert Bridge Gardens
