See more about this event in our events section: Cross Roads gets a new war memorial.
A small framed war memorial is mounted on a side wall next to this main memorial.
The original memorial was originally from a local Sunday School. It had been water damaged and then fell apart whilst in storage at Keighley Library and the surviving photographs were placed in an archive box at the library.
This new memorial was organised by Ian Walkden of the Men of Worth Project and created by several local people, who gave their time to make a new one from scratch.
Thanks go to Andy Wade for scanning and printing off the new photographs, Gina Birdsall, Simon Roarke and Caroline Brown of Keighley Library; Manny and Julie from M & J Framing in Keighley; Sheila Butler for the calligraphy work; Robert Riley of R.J. Joinery who made and supplied the new oak frame and Tito Arana who arranged for it’s new home back at Cross Roads Park.
On 11th February 2017 a special event was held at Cross Roads Bowling Club building to unveil the new memorial.
