Description
The Carr-Ellison Park First World War Memorial is located at the Canning Street entrance to Carr-Ellison Park, near the first junction of drives within the park. It is approximately 80 meters northeast of Hebburn Hall and the Church of St John, both of which are listed as Grade II. The memorial features a rectangular stone plinth raised on a three-stage base. It is flanked by granite pillars set on sandstone bases, which have foliated capitals. The entire structure is topped with a cornice that once supported a statue.
On the front and rear of the plinth, granite plaques commemorate the park's establishment as a war memorial. The main dedicatory inscription on the front states: "THE GREAT WAR/ THIS PARK WAS PRESENTED TO THE/ INHABITANTS OF HEBBURN BY/ COLONEL RALPH HENRY CARR-ELLISON C.M.G./ IN MEMORY OF THOSE HEBBURN MEN WHO/ LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES IN THE SERVICE/ OF THEIR COUNTRY, AND AS A TOKEN OF/ GRATITUDE FOR THE SAFE RETURN OF HIS ONLY SON/ JOHN CAMPBELL CARR-ELLISON, LIEUT./ 1ST ROYAL DRAGOONS."
The plaque on the rear reads: "THIS STONE WAS ERECTED BY THE/ HEBBURN URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL/ ON BEHALF OF THE INHABITANTS/ AS A TOKEN OF THEIR DEEP APPRECIATION/ OF/ COLONEL CARR-ELLISON’S/ MUNIFICENT GIFT./ JOHN BLACK/ CHAIRMAN/ JULY 1920."
