War Memorial, Retaining Wall And Railings At Memorial Nurses' Home

The war memorial, retaining wall, and railings at the Memorial Nurses' Home were built between 1921 and 1923, likely designed by the architects Evans, Cartwright & Woollett. The structure features an ashlar wall with a cast-iron railing and a bronze war memorial. The retaining wall is approximately 80 meters long and runs in a slight curve along the north side of Lenton Road, divided by pilasters and topped with a cast-iron railing.

To the left, there are three slightly projecting bays, also divided by pilasters, which contain a bronze plaque flanked by wreaths and torches, serving as the City and County war memorial. Beyond this, the wall steps back into the slope, and in front of it is a lower screen wall, around 20 meters long, featuring a central round-arched gateway flanked by rusticated piers.
