Description

Mosaic depicting Da Vinci's "The Last Supper" with dedicatiory panel at left and name panel at right. The memorial is 'At Risk' because of redevelopment of the site. The cost of rescue, recovery, restoration and relocation was too high. It was decided to have a high definition photograph taken to preserve the memory of the memorial. The 2/3 size photograph has been installed at the Darwen Heritage Centre.
