Comments:
Three of the textual stones show severe staining (from the anchor rust) and the lead lettering describing the fleet has lost its black colour (all this not surprising seeing its beach position). The anchor continues to rust and stain the stones as well as the panels and the surrounding railings are losing their paintwork. As it sits alongside the promenade it is in constant view by passers by (& tourists) so not a good image for conserving national heritage.
