The Last Stone is lifted at Theobalds

The Last Stone is lifted at Theobalds
4th February 2004

The last remaining stone from Temple Bar was lifted from the ground at 1pm on Wednesday, 4th February 2004. The stone known as LUFC7 took the stone masons 7 hours to dismantle from the ground, due to the adjoining structure which was added to Temple Bar at Theobalds Park in 1888/9.

On lifting the final stone, a cheer of excitement bellowed out from the site, marking the end of the work at Theobalds Park.
