Kitchener's Bugle Posted 22 August , 2015 Share Posted 22 August , 2015 This impressive Memorial was designed by T. Wallis Gordon, Nottingham City Engineer and Surveyor. The foundation stone was laid by Edward, Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII), on 1 August 1923. Constructed of Portland stone, the gateway is 46 ft (14 m) high and 58 ft (18 m) long, the central arch is 27 ft (8.2 m) high and 16 ft (4.9 m) wide; the arches on either side are 20 ft (6.1 m) and 8 ft (2.4 m) wide. The flanking colonnades, are 20 ft (6.1 m) high and 86 ft (26 m) long. The walls on either side extend the overall length to about 252 ft (77 m). It was unveiled by Edmund Huntsman, Mayor of Nottingham, on 11 November 1927. The service of dedication was carried out by James Gordon, then Vicar of St.Mary's Church, Nottingham. It was later adapted to commemorate those people who died in the Second World War. The entire memorial park is located behind the main monument. The memorial overlooks the river Trent with wonderful views. I took these images on a recent visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
