The forest-green painted wooden bench is about 5 foot wide, and made up of multiple narrow slats of timber, with a pronounced curving shape at the top of the backrest, and front of the seat. The paint on this bench is a bit chipped and worn, especially on the seat. The two outer supporting metal straps are welded to metal posts, that are set into the concrete footpath/promenade, while the central strap provides extra strength and support. The slat that the cast bronze plaques are routed and inset into is twice the width of the other slats. Both of the plaques have a textured black background, and are held in place with four brass Philips-head, counter-sunk screws. The screws for the left-hand plaque are covered in brown-green verdigris, the plaque being for Stefania Richter; it reads:
In Loving Memory of Stefania Richter
1925 - 2013
You touched our lives with your Courage,
Dignity & Compassion
Always in our hearts
"Steffi's" family
With the right-hand plaque being for Adam Rasheed, and it reads:
In Loving Memory of
ADAM RASHEED
1978 - 2001
"Returned to Innocence"
