The blue plaque was lost in the demolition of the former Touch of Spice restaurant in Broughton
A heritage blue plaque that vanished from a former pub in Broughton shortly before the building was demolished has been replaced – after the village group that it commemorates gave up on it ever being found.
READ MORE: 'Cowboy builder took thousands from us to build our dream extension and all we were left with was a wonky wall' Peter says that it is fitting that the society is once again being commemorated, particularly in the wake of the Covid pandemic – because it was during the dark days of another disease outbreak that it was founded in 1787.
The new plaque – now on the “extra care” building that replaced the pub – uses the same wording as the original that went walkabout. The BCCS is thought to be the oldest Catholic charitable society in the country and currently boasts around 1,200 members – including 180 priests. Peter says that he is keen to see new people join to stem a general decline in numbers in recent years – and to ensure the organisation’s longevity.
