Nottingham Memorials

[rolt968]

I took some photos of memorials in Nottingham on Wenesday.

This is on the Nottingham end of the parapet of Trent Bridge. Must have passed it many, many times in my youth when the corporation buses didn't cross the bridge.

 

 

I don't remember noticing the second name in the list before.

The foliage is very luxuriant around the Albert Ball Memorial in the castle grounds this year. These are the figures from the top.

I haven't seen this one before. It's not far from the Albert Ball Memorial.

I have seen this many times before, but I had not registered that the first parade consisted of the sergeant-major and six men. I had wondered how a parade fitted onto quite a small terrace.

Very interesting to have an opportunity to look more closely at these Memorials.

 

Thank you

In St Mary's Church in the Lace Market

 

Memorial to the Robin Hood Battalions.

Was there originally a stand of colours in the brackets, I wonder?

Also in St Mary's Church.

South Notts Hussars Memorial. The plaque at the bottom is to the successor units in WW2.

(Very difficult to photograph because of the plume on the top!)
