About the memorial: The memorial is located the west side of Ball Haye Green Road, just before it becomes Haregate Road. The monument takes the form of a recreation ground with a stone entrance gate inscribed with the names of the fallen and those who served and returned from rhe First World War. The cost of purchasing, preparing and fencing the land, as well as the construction of the stone gateway came to just under £1000, with this sum being raised by public subscription and a series of fundraising events. The gateway was designed by the town surveyor, Mr W. E. Beacham and built by the local builders Thomas Grace and Sons. The bronze tablets for the inscriptions were supplied by Messers Baxendale of Manchester. The memorial was unveiled on 5 November 1922 by Lieutenant Colonel Challinor, and the dedication was made by the vicar of St Luke’s Church, Rev J A Howell.
