Description

Marble plaque with a relief half figure of Emma Saunders. It was unveiled 1 July 1928 by H.R. Griffiths, divisional superintendent of the Great Western Railway.
The plaque is protected by glass, and therefore rather difficult to photograph because of the reflection.

Born 1841.       Died 1927.

Miss Emma Saunders
"The Railwaymen's Friend,"

Erected by railway workers and friends,
in grateful remembrance of her
fifty years devoted christian service.
