On October 11, 2003 Peterborough Fire/Rescue unveiled the Chief Lawrence C. Bishop Memorial Stone.  The Ceremony was preceded by a short introduction by Firefighter Jim Grant and unveiled by Acting Chief Winters and Deputy Chief Bowman.  Deputy Chief George Brown (ret.) accepted Chief Bishop's badges as a permanent display for the museum.

Chief Bishops widow, Bev and members of his family were also present.

The stone becomes another part of the the Aquarius No. 1 Fire Museum Remembrance Walkway at 14 Summer Street.  A part of the Peterborough Fire Station Complex, it is composed of red bricks personally engraved to honor, recognize, and remember friends, businesses, and associations.  Plans also call for a garden area and stone benches, which will provide a place for rest and reflection. 

The more than 2,000 personalized bricks in the Remembrance Walkway are available to individuals, organizations, and businesses. In addition to bricks, the placement of other types of engraved stones in the walkway will be considered for acceptance on an individual basis. All profits from the sale of the bricks, which cost $50 each, will contribute to the preservation and maintenance of the Fire Museum.

Each personalized brick measures 4" x 8". Engraving can be up to three lines, with 16 characters per line. Special 8"x8", and 12" x 12" bricks are also available. 

Benches and other memorials are available as well.

Contact a museum committee member for specific pricing information.
