Two of Battersea Park’s iconic artworks have been restored to preserve them for future generations.

Henry Moore’s Three Standing Figures and the 24th Division War Memorial were cleaned to remove lichen, moss, and pollution.

Conservation work has been funded by the Friends of Battersea Park and the council engaged Rupert Harris Conservation to carry out the work.

Speaking on behalf of the Trustees of the Friends of Battersea Park, Martin Graham said: “All lichen, moss and fungal growth has been removed, ensuring a gentle clean not affecting the stone surface, leaving the surface and stone colour close to the original.”

Kemi Akinola, Deputy Leader of Wandsworth Council, said: “We are tremendously lucky to have two important sculptures in Battersea Park and I’m pleased that during our Borough of Culture year we have been able work with the Friends of Battersea Park to carry out this conservation work to enable the public to enjoy this artwork for years to come.”
