The green metal bench has a slatted back and seat with low arm rests.
The plaque on the back of the bench is inscribed as follows:-

'In memory of Roy Thomas Cook
30th May 1927 - 25th September 2014'

"Westport Lake is located alongside the Trent & Mersey Canal. It is Stoke-on-Trent’s largest expanse of water and consists of two lakes, and a nature reserve. It’s one of the best places in the area for bird-watching and walking. It has come a long way since its initial development as a pleasure resort by a local farmer around 1890 then it descended into a wasteland until becoming one of Stoke's first regeneration projects in 1986. It is now run in partnership between Staffordshire Wildlife Trust and Stoke City Council." SOURCE: (visit link)
