Description
The Shore Mill War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in the 1920s, with later additions for the Second World War. It features a tall granite Latin cross with a raised central roundel that contains a Tudor rose. The shaft of the cross has a tapering, rectangular section that rises from a plain pedestal with canted sides, which is elevated on a two-stepped chamfered plinth. The front face of the pedestal includes 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 list the 56 names of those who fell in the First World War. A secondary dedication has been added to the south face of the top step of the plinth, which simply states 1939 – 1945, and the names of seven who fell in the Second World War are recorded at either end of the step.
