North Eastern Railways War Memorial

Wonderful

Memorial in dire need of a clean as a lrge number of names unreadable. Probably disrespectful.

The North Eastern Railway War Memorial was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, and unveiled in 1924, to commemorate the employees of the North Eastern Railway who were killed in the First World War.The passage of time, pollution, and the weather, have not been kind to the memorial and, sadly, it is showing its age. It’s likely harsh cleaning and re-engraving would deteriorate the once grand memorial further.It’s reassuring to see that those employees, whose names are carved into the memorial, have not been forgotten as new panels have been installed to preserve the names of those lost.This is an interesting memorial to visit are reflect on the sacrifices made by so many.

A great memorial

Gardens were lovely to sit in and enjoy the sunshine and for children to play. Didn't go I the museum due to having a small child with me .
