About the memorial: Sited at junction of Clifton Drive and St Georges Road. First World War memorial. Dated 1923 on sculpture. Sculpture by W.Marsden. White granite with bronze reliefs and statuary. A tall square tapered pillar surmounted by a statue, on a rectangular stepped plinth with side supporters also bearing statues. Bronze relief panels wrap round the plinth (interrupted at the sides by the supporters): the front (to the south) has a large raised rectangular panel displaying the names of the fallen in raised lettering, flanked on the left by relief figures of an airman and a sailor and on the right by 2 soldiers; the left return depicts a soldier tended by a nurse, and the right-hand return depicts a soldier with wife and child; and the rear is filled with figures of soldiers, including stretcher-bearers carrying a casualty and a line of men blinded by gas. The supporters have over-life-size statues of seated figures: to the east, a woman with a baby on her lap, and to the west a defiant soldier grasping his rifle by the muzzle (the latter inscribed "1923 W.Marsden"). The top of the pillar is a hemisphere, on which stands the figure of a woman with arms raised in supplication. The item is one of the finest examples of its type in Lancashire. c Historic England listing entry. Sculptor: Walter Marsden
