Short Heath War Memorial

Short Heath War Memorial is located in the center of a small garden at the junction of Sand Beds Road, High Road, and Haley Street. The memorial features a rough-hewn granite Celtic cross with a tall shaft set on a tapering plinth. A reversed sword is carved in relief on the front face of the cross. The southern face of the plinth has an inscription in black painted letters that reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND TO THE MEMORY OF THE FOLLOWING MEN OF SHORT HEATH WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918" followed by 17 names. The eastern and western faces of the plinth also have inscriptions in black painted letters with additional names of the fallen. The plinth is set on a three-stepped rectangular base.

The memorial is accessed from the street via a timber gate on brick piers and a flight of four steps, which lead to a new raised pavement that surrounds the memorial, completed in 2007. Behind the memorial cross is a plaque commemorating those who fell in the Second World War. At the rear of the garden, there is a curved pergola made of brick piers and horizontal timbers. The garden is enclosed on the sides by half-height timber fences with hedges.
