It belongs to the YMCA Northumberland Association then 1921 etc. The original building was demolished to make way for the Eldon shopping centre in the 70's. The YMCA have it now and its needs some conservation work on it, repairs are needed to the fabric of the Memorial, it need a new dome heading top, the gold gilding needs to be re-touched up. Parts of the border is missing and the heading is missing. A good clean to get rid of the accumulated Grime, its not bad =, but the gold gilding does need touching up.
