Southport War Memorial, War memorial in Sefton, England
The Portland stone memorial features two colonnades with chapels at each end, surrounding a central obelisk in London Square Memorial Garden on Lord Street.
Following a public fundraising campaign in 1919 that collected £31,854, the memorial was constructed and officially unveiled on November 18, 1923.
The memorial displays 1,247 names of servicemen and three women who perished in World War I, with additional panels for World War II casualties.
Visitors can access the memorial gardens throughout the year, where they can observe the Remembrance fountains and read the inscriptions on chapel walls.
Herbert Tyson Smith carved all inscriptions and names on the Roll of Honour, which received additions in 1956 to commemorate World War II losses.
