Description
The Newbiggin War Memorial is a First World War memorial commissioned by the Newbiggin Colliery Company. It was designed by Messrs Cackett and Burns Dick and unveiled on July 9, 1921, by Major-General Sir R A Kerr Montgomery. The memorial is made of granite, sandstone, and bronze. It features a Doric granite column mounted on a square pedestal with a circular stepped base, situated at the center of a large circular platform. A concrete seat with a panelled parapet surrounds three-quarters of the memorial. On the front of the pedestal, there is a bronze tablet inscribed with the words: "To the Glorious Memory/of the 575 Officers and men/from Newbiggin Colliery/who served in the/Great War 1914-1918/of whom 92/died in the Cause/of/Liberty." The memorial reflects the strong connections between the Newbiggin Colliery community and those who served and sacrificed during the war, with 40% of its workforce having enlisted.
