Fullwell War Memorial
Posted in Trips, War Memorials at 12:00 on 27 January 2021
Our friend in the North(east) – well it’s actually well south of Son of the Rock Acres – lives just north of Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, in a village called Whitburn whose War Memorial I featured here. That itself is just north of Fulwell, which I gather is part of Sunderland and where his friend (who now lives in Markinch and through whom we got to know him) used to live.
Since she is well aware of my interest in War Memorials she made a point of taking us to see the one in Fullwell. She remembered it as being upright but it is now set on the ground inside a stone enclosure in a small park area. It bears only Great War names.
Plaque with dedication, “To perpetuate the memory of the men of Fullwell who fell in the Great War 1914 – 1918.”:-

Phil,
Thank you for this. I’ve now looked at the BBC page on the new memorial. Impressive.
Thanks for looking in and commenting.

I published my photo of the War Memorial at Fulwell here.
Recently I received a comment on that post from Phil Cockton saying “Look at it now,” so I made a search on the internet.
I found this BBC news page.
I have taken the liberty of copying the photo from it.
