In March 2012 the signpost was severely damaged. It toppled over while contractors were digging a hole alongside, as part of the work to replace the local gas mains. The Gateacre Society very much hopes, however, that the sign will repaired and put back in place in time to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's diamond jubilee in early June.
Read about the incident, as reported in the March 2012 issue of the Gateacre Society Newsletter.
