Barshaw Park: a plaque in the Peace Garden

The plaque is located on one of the gateposts inside the entrance of the garden. For the entrance, from the other side, see NS5064 : Barshaw Park: entrance to Peace Garden. For a view of the walled garden itself, see: NS5064 : Barshaw Park: the Peace Garden. [The text on the plaque is self-explanatory, but it is probably worth commenting on the logo featured on it. The United Nations declares certain "international observances": these are usually special days, years, or even decades. Official logos are created for each of these observances, using the symbolism of the UN. 1986 was declared the "International Year of Peace", and the plaque shows the corresponding official logo, incorporating the two olive branches of the standard United Nations emblem.]
