1. The firm was taken over by Howard Doris of Sunderland, who demolished the offices. They later went bankrupt. The records were destroyed.
2. The plaque was taken into stores, and was in the Heritage Centre for two years.
3. The pub has changed its name to the Bogie Chain. It was sited directly opposite the entrance to the Wallsend Slipway works, and the men would have known the pub well. That is why it was considered a suitable place to have the memorial on show.
4. Restored beautifully in 1999. The man who restored the memorial, Mr. Gustafson, is a relative of T. Gustafson named on the plaque, who was 18 years old when he was killed.
5. When the Memorial was found there was very little interest shown except by a Mr John Wilkinson, businessman and owner of the “The Bogie Chain” public house and restaurant, formerly The Railway Hotel, Wallsend. Mr Wilkinson was shocked at the discovery and together with Mr T. Gustafson set about renovating and fully restoring the plaque at their own expense. Mr Wilkinson had the plaque magnificently remounted and installed in his restaurant at the Bogie Chain.
6. The memorial has been removed to Wallsend Library.
