The Fulwood War Memorial is located at the junction of Fulwood Rd and Canterbury Ave, Fulwood.
The memorial is a Wheel Cross of stone surmounted by a closed lantern. The lantern stands on a tapering octagonal shaft. The shaft surmounts a two-tiered plinth. The plinth bears the dedication in incised lettering. There is a three-stepped stone base. A pPlaque commemorating the names of those who lost their lives in the First World War set on a wrought iron fence behind the cross.
64 names are commemorated as having lost their lives in the First World War.
1 soldier who fought with the Yorkshire Regiment is commemorated on the memorial.
We are most grateful to Wayne Bywater (<waynetyke123@aol.com) for photographing the memorial.
