The 1897 Diamond Jubilee signpost was put back in position in Belle Vale Road in mid-September, after the completion of restoration work by Enterprise-Liverpool and specialist contractors. Following consultation with the Council's Conservation Team, the decision had been taken to go for 'minimal intervention' in terms of the salvaged timber panels; hence the natural wood finish which has been adopted for the signpost. A consequence, unfortunately, is that the inscriptions on the panels - giving distances to various places on the road side, and commemorating William Hall Walker's gift on the other side - are now very difficult to read. We are hoping that this can be remedied before too long.
