These restoration works included the cleaning of a bronze statue of Captain John Smith (of the Titanic) and a stone statue of Edward VII Portland, along with the reconstruction of the Martyr’s Plaque.

The cast iron fountain was carefully dismantled and restored and the centrepiece, a sea nymph, was restored to its former glory and reinstated in the centre. New stone balusters were replaced to match the existing around the park, as well as steps and a ramp with railings to provide inclusive access to the memorial garden. A new stone urn was carved and fitted to match the existing.
