Listed Building record MDR11162 - Bolehill and Steeple Grange War Memorial, Wirksworth

First World War memorial built in 1925 and dedicated to the men of Bolehill and Steeple Grange who sacrificed their lives in the First World War, with a further two who lost their lives in the Second World War. Designed by Harry Hopkins and built by W Gallimore and Sons, both of Wirksworth. It is constructed in reinforced concrete blocks and takes the form of an alcove shelter. It is rectangular in plan and built in a classical design. Its form is unusual; it is also innovative in its early use of reinforced moulded concrete, which adds to its architectural interest. (1)
