A fully restored Spanish Civil War memorial has been put back into use in Forbury Gardens. Reading Mayor Tony Jones presided over the event in the monastery district, with representatives from the borough council, unions, and other local groups also attending. The ceremony was held almost 25 years after the statue was first unveiled in May 1990. This monument was created by local sculptor Eric Stanford and, after four years of fundraising, depicts the mothers of those who died in Spain during the 1936-39 Civil War. At least 16 people from or associated with Reading were killed in the battle.
