Blackwood War Memorial

A cenotaph-type war memorial influenced by Lutyens' Cenotaph in Whitehall, London. Of limestone ashlar on a polished granite square base and stepped plinth. The pylon has inscriptions with black letters to the front and sides, while the L side also has a metal plaque with a roll call of the 1914-18 and 1939-45 wars. The stepped cap incorporates polished granite bands and pilasters, and 2 wreaths in relief to each face.

The approach is formed of 2 square piers between convex concrete steps. On the L side facing Lewis Avenue is a dwarf wall and ashlar piers framing 3 bays of iron railings incorporating X-shaped panels.
