About the memorial: This memorial is situated at Nun’s Corner, Grimsby, which is an elongated roundabout at the junction of the A46 (Weelsby Road) and the B1203 (Bargate), on a lawned area close to Grimsby Institute (formerly known as Grimsby College of Technology). Parking may be had along Eastwood Avenue, which is a cul de sac. History- The wooden seat was presented to the Rotary Club of Grimsby by a Nigel Bratton, who was leaving the Rotary Club, and they affixed the plaque, and sought permission from the Council to place the seat in its position. The cost of the seat was paid for by Mr Bratton and the Rotary Club paid for the stone slabs and the seat's’s installation. The seat was placed in its current position in 1996, and it is maintained by Murdo Macinnes. The seat at present is in a reasonable state of repair, for an object that is in constant public view, close to main road and out in all weathers.
