War Memorial

The Wealdstone War Memorial, designed by Herbert Walker, who passed away in 1950, was commissioned by the Wealdstone Urban District Council and completed in 1923. It is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and features a copper-sheathed spire topped with a wrought iron weather vane. The memorial includes marble inscription panels with lead letters that list the names of the fallen on three sides, while the fourth side has a low entrance. Each side of the memorial displays a clock face above cruciform window openings, which are set between pinnacles at the corners. The memorial is topped with an eight-sided low spire and a weather vane.

Historically, it was unveiled on 11 November 1923 by Lieutenant General Ironside alongside Oswald Mosley, MP, in memory of the 250 men from Wealdstone who lost their lives in the Great War. The memorial suffered bomb damage in August 1940.
