Description

The Brentford Gas Company War Memorial Plaque is a war memorial erected in 1922 at the Southall Gasworks of the Brentford Gas Company, which was taken over by the Gas Light and Coke Company in 1926. The memorial was later moved to the site of the former Bromley-by-Bow Gasworks and placed in a memorial garden created after the Second World War.

The memorial features a bronze plaque set on a chamfered stone tablet that stands approximately 1.2 meters high and 1.8 meters wide, with a chamfered rectangular stone base. It is located within a memorial garden near other notable structures, including the Gas Light and Coke Company memorial lamp, the memorial rotunda, and a statue of Sir Corbett Woodhall, all of which are Grade II-listed. The bronze plaque displays an inscription in raised lettering that reads: "IN PROUD AND GRATEFUL REMEMBRANCE MCMXIV. OF OUR COMRADES IN THESE WORKS MCMXVIII. WHO DURING THE GREAT WAR LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES FOR US AND FOR THEIR COUNTRY. NAMES 'GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS'."
