Stourbridge War Memorial
July
15th 2008 - It's OK! Councillor Mike Attwood has confirmed that the plaques
on the memorial have been taken away for refurbishment and have not been
stolen. Even so, maybe it is something we need to think about as the price
of metal soars, metal thefts of this type are becoming more common.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The
War Memorial was financed by public subscription in memory of those who
fell in the First World War and was erected outside the public library
in 1923. It was designed by Ernest Pickford and unveiled by the Earl of
Coventry on 16 February 1923. It was later moved to its present position
in Mary Stevens Park in the 1960's.
