Condition Report
The lions and plinths are reconstituted stone and are moulded rather than carved, It is difficult to asses age given that they have weathered nicely and have a good "crusty" appearance now being weathered for some time. I would think these might be 50 yrs old or a little bit older but not by much
See the image of the damage to the corner of the one lion's base.
The one trunk section of the plinth has two long, longitudinal cracks.
Some established weathering and some slight knocks and chips
A large chunk is knocked off the corner, we have the chunk in question, it is the site of an old repair
