Brockholes War Memorial

The Brockholes War Memorial is located at the roadside, at the junction of Brockholes Lane and Oakes Lane, facing the Victoria Recreation Ground in a residential area. Constructed from limestone, the memorial features a Latin cross that rises from the stepped and moulded coping of a low wall. The front face of the cross is adorned with a reversed sword carved in low relief. On either side of the wall's central panel are slightly curving flanking walls, also with moulded coping, which end in simple piers. Wreaths are carved in relief on these flanking walls, with the left wreath encircling the year 1914 and the right wreath encircling 1919.

Attached to the central panel of the wall is a rectangular granite tablet that bears the main inscriptions. The dedication reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN PROUD AND GRATEFUL MEMORY OF OUR/ MANY SONS WHO SERVED IN THE EUROPEAN WAR/ OF WHOSE GALLANT NUMBER THESE CAME NOT AGAIN/ (22 NAMES)/ SHALL WE FAIL THOSE WHO DIED?" Below this, a further granite tablet lists the years 1939 – 1945 and includes 8 names. All inscriptions are in metal lettering, attached to the stone and painted black.

Access to the memorial is via two shallow steps leading up from a small paved area, which is enclosed by iron railings mounted on a raised kerb. Two stone gate piers support the iron gates that provide entry to the memorial.
