About the memorial: Stored/hanging in City College, Manchester (formerly Central High School for Boys). The school memorial was returned to the building in approximately 2000 and was held in storage for at least 6 years in the basement. Information from a book in Manchester Central Library states that 160 Old Scholars from the school lost their lives in the First World War. The memorial takes the form of an inscribed oak plaque, the frame incorporating the Manchester shield. It was designed by Mr Gwilliam Jones and unveiled by Lord Colwyn on 11th September 1920. WMT received information in 2006 that this memorial was to be rehung in City College, though confirmation of this is outstanding. Feb 2018 - Now confirmed. Located just off the main Reception area of the Sheena Simon Campus Building
