Striking remembrance bench returned to town centre

Created and donated to the town in 2020, the bench features vibrant red poppies and the poignant message 'Lest We Forget' as a tribute to servicemen and women.

After several years of exposure to the elements, the bench was showing signs of wear and tear.

It has now been given a much-needed spruce-up by P&P Engineering of Stoke, organised by Shifnal Town Council, ensuring it remains a fitting and lasting tribute to those who have served.

“The Shifnal Remembrance Bench is an important landmark in the town as a place for quiet reflection and remembrance,” said Mayor of Shifnal Councillor Ellen Moore, “Its return has been warmly welcomed by residents, who appreciate its symbolic significance and craftsmanship.”
