Description
The Goole Cenotaph is a war memorial located in a garden that was developed shortly after it was unveiled in 1922. It is modeled after the Whitehall Cenotaph and is constructed from Portland stone. The cenotaph stands 5.5 meters high and has a rectangular shape. At the top, there is a plain chest tomb that rests on a three-staged base, which is set back towards its upper section. Below this is a two-stage base that stands on three shallow steps.
On the front face of the memorial, the dates of the World Wars are inscribed as 1914 1919/ 1939 1945, with the words OUR/ GLORIOUS/ DEAD beneath. Carved laurel wreaths are positioned at the upper section of the shaft on either end. Unlike the Whitehall Cenotaph, this memorial features bronze plaques that display the names of those commemorated. These include plaques on each face of the base, a large rectangular plaque on the rear of the shaft inscribed PRO PATRIA/ (NAMES), a rectangular plaque on one side of the shaft inscribed HONOR/ (NAMES), and another rectangular plaque on the opposite side inscribed LIBERTAS/ (NAMES).
