Letter-carver Ollie Laughton, left, and restorer Michael Cook, right, from Tilley’s Stonemasons of Brighton, East Sussex, inspect the headstone of Tom Highflyer, a young slave boy rescued by the Royal Navy’s East African Anti Slave Trade Squadron in 1866. Named after the ship that rescued him, he was sent to Brighton to live and be educated, where he died in 1870, at about the age of 12. His grave and stone monument had fallen into disrepair and the restoration was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and organised by the Brighton Black History Group and the local council.
