FORGOTTEN CLEVELEYS WAR MEMORIAL TO GET MAKEOVER Did you know that the Cenotaph at Four Lane Ends, Thornton, is not the only such memorial in our area? There is another, smaller memorial in the Garden of Remembrance behind St Andrew’s Church at the junction of Rossall and Rough Lea Roads, Cleveleys. In the early 1920s, it was decided to build a Memorial Hall at St Andrew’s, to remember those Cleveleys men from all denominations who fell in the First World War. Work began in 1924, and in 1926, as building work was completed, the Memorial Stone was unveiled by Lord Stanley. In the decades that followed, the Memorial Hall was used extensively by people in Cleveleys for a wide range of activities, including Sunday School, dances, indoor sports and Guiding and Scouting activities. By 1990 however, the need for major structural repairs became evident, with costs that far exceeded available funding, so the Memorial Hall was demolished. In 2001/02, a new, modern hall space was created in the West end of
the main church building, and the Memorial Stone relocated to form part of the external wall of the North Transept. In recent years, the Stone has become part of our Heritage Programme, where three times a year, we welcome groups from local primary schools to explore the church building and surroundings. A vigorously-growing hydrangea has, however, partially obscured the Stone from view, so the people of St Andrew’s have agreed it’s time to clear away the shrubbery and create a small memorial garden to reflect the importance of the Memorial, appropriately honouring the memory of those who gave their lives and giving Cleveleys people a space to pause, reflect and remember... To support the project, we have been able to secure from Wyre Borough Council a small amount of funding, but we still need some practical help to create the garden. If you’re able and willing to get involved, please read on… During early Autumn, we will create a space around the
Memorial Stone, where we plan to: •
Clear away the surrounding shrubbery;
•
Lay a gravel path leading to the Stone;
•
Remove weeds and generally tidy the area;
•
Plant Spring bulbs and leave space for Summer bedding plants.
Please see below a couple of photos of the Memorial Stone as it is now, and a sketch of the proposed design of the new garden. We plan to start the work at 10am on Saturday 9 September, continuing at the same time on Saturdays 16 and 30 September and in addition, at 10am on Wednesday 13 September. Refreshments will be provided! If you would like to help, please just turn up at one or more of these times, bringing with you any tools you think you may need. Further information is available from David on 07796 972605 or Jo on 07989 733194.
