About the memorial: The initial plan was to install a new ramp access to the upper tiers of the platform and have the Victoria Cross Stones either side of the ramp. The area to the front of the Cenotaph and side of the Victoria cross Stones was replaced modern paving system. This allowed all of the existing paving stones to be taken up and replace those which have been broken around the cenotaph, thus providing a presentable base for the cenotaph. The Victoria Cross Stones were laid and there is a blank one on one end which was originally a duplicate stone of those either provided by HM Government and those which were purchased by Wirral Council as they had not been deemed to be the original place of birth for the Victoria Cross recipient.
