Phase One Completed
CML are proud to announce completion of Phase One of the restoration of the North Eastern Railway, Grade II York War Memorial.
Working to stringent planning permissions and heritage guidelines, CML, working with our specialist Henley Restoration and Remedials, ensured the memorial was ready in time for 2024’s Remembrance wreath laying ceremony on Monday 11 November.
Using low pressure but high temperature steam jets, the Portland Stone was delicately cleaned over a seven-day period, ensuring the monument’s preservation for future generations.
Steven Entwistle, CML Senior Project Manager, said: “This is very high-profile prestigious project, which needed to be done within very constrained timescales, and we’ve had some great interactions with the public, including descendants of those whose names are remembered on the memorial, who seem really pleased at how it’s turned out.
“Getting the memorial clean has been something people in York have wanted for a long, long time, and hopefully our work on behalf of Network Rail has done it justice.”
