Refurbished bench unveiled in Shifnal

A striking remembrance bench has been refurbished and reinstated in Shifnal town centre.

Created and donated to the town in 2020, the bench features vibrant red poppies and the poignant message Lest We Forget, as a tribute to servicemen and women.

After several years of exposure to the elements, the bench was showing signs of wear and tear so It has now been given a much-needed spruce-up organised by Shifnal Town Council, ensuring it remains a fitting and lasting tribute to those who have served.

“The Shifnal Remembrance Bench is an important landmark in the town as a place for quiet reflection and remembrance,” said Mayor of Shifnal Cllr Ellen Moore (pictured).

“Its return has been warmly welcomed by residents, who appreciate its symbolic significance and craftsmanship.”
