About the memorial: A thin pressed metal plaque finished to resemble bronze, although it probably is not. At the head is a bound laurel wreath and ribbon in relief and the inscription is in raised upright capital block lettering. The plaque is mounted on a wooden frame. The (hosiery) company occupied extensive premises to the west of Chapel Street where the supermarket and other commercial properties have now been built. The historic mill building still survives and was occupied by De Bradelei Mill after Brettles closed about 1984. It is presumed that the memorial was originally located in the surviving building and was transferred to the visitor centre at North Mill at about that time.
