Alan_J Posted 17 June , 2005 Share Posted 17 June , 2005 A while back there were a couple of threads on the memorial being closed until around mid-June. I've just checked the CWGC website, and this still has news that it will be closed from around mid-May for 7 weeks. I assume the work has not yet finished? Does anyone know the latest?

gem22 Posted 17 June , 2005 Share Posted 17 June , 2005 Alan I was over there at the end of April and the workmen were expecting to finish on time. They said that was 5 weeks then and I've heard nothing since to suggest they were late finishing. If you are thinking of visiting you can still get access even if they haven't finished the work. It just means you have to wait until 5 pm when they come down for the day. Garth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Morgan Posted 17 June , 2005 Share Posted 17 June , 2005 I was there one week ago and the Memorial was fully open with no signs of any equipment, stored materials, barriers etc. (That's not to say that there's no other phase of cleaning due to start, though.) Maybe Pals who have visited even more recently will be able to give us the latest. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_J Posted 17 June , 2005 Author Share Posted 17 June , 2005 Thanks Tom and Garth, I'd have thought the CWGC would have updated their website, but as I recall it took them a little while to post news on the closure in the first place.
