Description
The London Society of East Anglians war memorial was unveiled in July 1920 on the façade of the Liverpool Street Station offices of the Great Eastern Railway Company. It was later repositioned adjacent to the Great Eastern Railway memorial on the upper concourse during the station's remodelling in the 1990s.
The memorial features a black granite backing with a carved Portland stone tablet. It is attached to the north face of the Great Eastern Hotel at the upper concourse level of the station. The memorial is designed as an ornate classical tablet with a central oval medallion that bears a carved inscription commemorating the men from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire who fell in the Great War from 1914 to 1919. The inscription reads: ‘THIS MEMORIAL/ TO THE MEN OF/ NORFOLK, SUFFOLK, ESSEX/ AND CAMBRIDGESHIRE/ WHO FELL/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914-1919/ IS ERECTED BY/ THE LONDON SOCIETY/ OF/ EAST ANGLIANS’. The tablet is flanked by laurel wreaths, features a classical female head, and displays the arms of the four counties above, all highlighted in colour and set into a broken pediment with the flag of the Society at the apex.
