Liverpool Cenotaph, War memorial at St George's Plateau, Liverpool, England.
The Liverpool Cenotaph is a war memorial located at St George's Plateau near St George's Hall on Lime Street. The structure features bronze relief sculptures showing marching troops and mourners mounted on a rectangular stone block with a Yorkshire Silex stone platform.
The monument was unveiled on November 11, 1930, by the Earl of Derby, marking a significant moment in Liverpool's memorial landscape. Additional inscriptions were added in 1946 to recognize losses from World War II.
The memorial draws crowds each Remembrance Day when people gather to honor those lost in warfare. These annual ceremonies reveal how deeply the site is woven into the community's traditions of remembrance.
The site sits on an open plaza, making it easy to reach and view from multiple angles. Visiting during daylight is best for seeing the details of the bronze reliefs clearly.
The design was chosen through an international competition that drew more than 250 entries from around the world. This careful selection process reflects how seriously Liverpool took the task of creating a fitting tribute.
