War Memorial Gilding Restoration - Gold Lettering Signwriting Leicester.

The restoration and gold leaf of memorial plaques like this one are always an honour to do and a poignant reminder to myself of the sacrifice given in the past by these brave men and women.
The lettering on this one was orginally white I believe, but had just about disappeared over the years... this time around its been freshened up with a fitting antique gold. Stands out a treat now.
The plaque sits on the outside of Leicester's Memorial Holbrook Hall, next to St Guthlac's Church in Knighton. All the work was traditionally hand done with brush and the trusty old Mahl stick :-)
