Seahouses War Memorial

  • Description

    "A granite obelisk with bronze sword and wreath, erected in 1923. Matching bronze plaques say "North Sunderland Parish - In memory of those who fell in the war", with 1914-1918 on this side and 1939-1945 on the other, followed by the names. The memorial is a Grade II listed structure. For more information and photos, see http://www.newmp.org.uk/detail.php?contentId=8883 . The low granite wall around the memorial was built in 1995. The gates and railings were installed a few years later to stop people sitting there to eat fish and chips, which was considered disrespectful." Photo by Rose and Trev Clough, 2011.
