The work was carried out by UK Power Network, as reported on What’s The Jam.

“This is directly outside of Turner Contemporary art gallery.

Gavin Marten (corr) added: “It really isn’t hard to number the stones when lifted to place back after works are completed.

“However, I bet the stones have been skipped.

“Good luck on them finding identical weathered stones.”
