Memorial to Nottinghamshire County Council Employees

UKNIWM Ref - 59401

Shire Hall, High Pavement, Nottingham. This alabaster memorial was erected 'in the spandrel of the arcade in the entrance to the Shire Hall', the Shire Hall then being the main offices of Nottinghamshire County Council. The building is now occupied by the National Centre for Citizenship and the Law (Galleries of Justice), the council's staff transferring over a period of years to County Hall, West Bridgford, after the Second World War. The Council agreed at a meeting on 29 April 1919 to erect a memorial to employees who had died in the war. The Council confirmed the design and cost ('not to exceed £200') at a meeting of the Standing Orders and General Purpose Committee on 27 July 1920. The memorial was designed by Harry Gill MSA, a Nottingham architect, and constructed and installed by Messrs Robert Bridgeman and Sons of Litchfield, Staffordshire. The employees included policemen serving with Nottinghamshire Constabulary. The names include that of Percy Mears whose name has been annotated, 'Has since returned'. The Council's Second World War memorial is also in the Shire Hall.
