Linden Arches

The Linden Arches were erected in 1875. The eight arches, originally gas lit in glass globes, did not last well. Over the years the globes disappeared, as did most of the arches. By 2008 only two were left, derelict and long globe-less. This was the first FPRG restoration project.

New more robust arches were manufactured and installed in 2012; the work was carried out by local firms under the lead of Worrall’s Engineering of Warwick. The crowns were gilded by a specialist Leamington sign-writer and the electrics for the globes' lighting done by another local firm.

The council contributed a third of the cost; the Friends, as volunteers, raised the remainder from public donations. A plaque commemorating the donors was formally unveiled by HRH the Duke of Gloucester on 7th June 2012 to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
