Summary
War memorial, unveiled in 1925, dedicated to the fallen of the First and Second World Wars.
Reasons for Designation
Immingham War Memorial, unveiled in 1925, and dedicated to the fallen of the First and Second World Wars, is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons:
Historic interest:
* as an eloquent witness to the tragic impact of world events on the local community, and the sacrifice it made in the conflicts of the C20.
Architectural interest:
* as a well-executed memorial.
History
The aftermath of the First World War saw the biggest single wave of public commemoration ever with tens of thousands of memorials erected across England. This was the result of both the huge impact on communities of the loss of three quarters of a million British lives, and also the official policy of not repatriating the dead: therefore the memorials provided the main focus of the grief felt at this great loss.
One such memorial was raised at Immingham as a permanent testament to the sacrifice made by 28 members of the local community who lost their lives in the First World War. A temporary war memorial, constructed of timber and asbestos sheeting, was erected outside the County Hotel in 1919. The permanent memorial, constructed of white granite, was erected in 1925 at a cost of £200, and unveiled and dedicated in a ceremony on 30 July 1925. Following the Second World War, the names of 14 members of the local community who lost their lives were added to the war memorial. The name of one local man who fell in the Afghanistan War (2011-2014) was added to the memorial around 2010.
Details
First World War memorial, unveiled in 1925, with later additions for the Second World Wars.
DESCRIPTION: the war memorial is constructed of white granite and is square in plan, taking the form of an obelisk over a plinth and wide three-stepped base, the lowest level of which has cusped corners. The lower part of the obelisk is inscribed with the dates of each war, and the plinth inscribed with the names of the fallen, the lettering painted black. The front (north-west) elevation facing the junction of Pelham Road and Humberville Road is inscribed: ‘OUR / NOBLE DEAD / 1914 – 1918 / (28 NAMES)’. The south-west elevation is inscribed: ‘OUR / NOBLE DEAD / 1939 – 1945 / (14 NAMES)’. The name and year of death of one local man who fell in the Afghanistan War (2001-2014) is inscribed on the base of the north-east elevation. The war memorial stands in a prominent location at the junction of Humberville Road and Pelham Road in Immingham, between the village and Immingham Dock.
