Shore Mill War Memorial

First World War memorial, 1920s, with later additions for the Second World War.

The memorial comprises a tall granite Latin cross with a raised central roundel containing a Tudor rose. The shaft of the cross has a tapering, rectangular section rising from a plain pedestal with canted sides, raised on a two-stepped chamfered plinth. The front face of the pedestal has a dedication in painted metal letters that reads ERECTED / BY THE EMPLOYEES / OF SHORE MILLS / TO THE MEMORY OF / THEIR FELLOW WORKMEN WHO / LOST THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914 – 1919. The two side faces record the 56 names of the fallen of the First World War. A secondary dedication has been added to the S face of the top step of the plinth, which simply reads 1939 – 1945 and the seven names of the fallen of the Second World War are recorded at either end of the step.
