About the memorial: The memorial is the former Skegness Convalescent Home, now a municipal building. It became Skegness Town Hall, within East Lindsey District Council but was sold off in 2022 to the owner of the Toyal Hotel. The Historic England listing includes the building and the entrance gate, piers and boundary wall to east of it. It was built in 1927 as a memorial to members of the National Deposit Friendly Society who lost their lives in the war, the third such to be erected. The main entrance on North Parade to the east is distinguished by paired gatepiers of banded red brick and stone with stone ball finials set half within concave bases. The entrance has double-leaf decorative iron gates and there are smaller gates between each pair of piers. The boundary wall, which extends southwards, is punctuated by five groups of stone balusters along the frieze with banded brick and stone beneath. The building consists of a large central block with wings at an angle linked to lower pavilions on the east and west sides. An extension dating to the second half of the C20 adjoins the west side of the west pavilion. The former convalescent home is in a neo-Georgian style.
