    Not local to me, but as the last time I'd headed there was over three years ago it's always a place I will try and get to when I'm in the vicinity. It's a place that holds many memories from when I was once a young man, and used to be able to fly up and down that blessed hill. Those days, along with open access, are now long gone.

    Walsall Memorial Gardens. Winter care-worn, seen better days. A lot like me.

    HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT

    The area south of St Matthew's church (until the late C18 All Saints) was at the heart of the medieval town of Walsall, and by the C18 was heavily built-up. By the C19, however, the commercial centre of the town had moved west to the area around The Bridge and Park Street and many of the properties on Church Hill had become dilapidated. There was some demolition south of the church in the middle of that century, and further slum clearance in the 1930s when the area's inhabitants were moved to new council houses.

    Church Hill was left largely open, and after the Second World War was declared an 'Area of Special Development' with a high priority for reconstruction. In 1947 Geoffrey Jellicoe (kt 1979) was awarded a contract to design an ambitious scheme whereby the hilltop would be left open as a garden, to include a memorial to the town's war dead, which would be linked to the town by bridges. Jellicoe's final scheme was slightly less ambitious. The initial phase of the project included the construction of the greater part of the Memorial Garden and the Terrace, opened in 1952. The second phase, comprising the building of the memorial chapel in the Memorial Garden, and the flats and Brotherhood or Church Hall to the south of the open space known as St Matthew's Close, was completed c 1960. The buildings were intended to preserve, to some extent, the church's urban setting. The Memorial Garden and Terrace were restored c 1994 when some changes were made to the materials used for paths and surfacing. In 1998 the gardener's house was under restoration.

    The memorial outside St Paul's Church, Ashby High Street, Ashby, Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire:
    upload_2023-5-9_20-41-54.jpeg

    There are 63 names for World War 1 and none for World War 2. It was relocated to this site in 1963, due to road development at its original Ashby Turn placement.

    The Ashby Constitution Club has a Roll of Honour and there may be others; I will adjust this post when a full listing is obtained.
