Within twenty years of the memorial being moved to the lawn in front of the Council Offices, it was back at more or less its original location after further alterations were made to the High Street/Church Street junction in the 1980s. Careful examination of the photos below will show, however, that the statue on top of the memorial does not have the same orientation as it originally had when it was first erected at The Cross. However, one benefit of the double move has been that the memorial has been renovated twice, which accounts for it being in such good condition when compared with many others around the country.
