Sheffield War Memorials
Went to Sheffield for a couple of days for our youngest son`s Graduation - proud parents 😁
Whilst exploring the area around the Student`s Union we went to Weston Park and Firth Hall, both of which had magnificent memorials to the dead of WW1 and WW2
Firth hall, on the first floor by the Dean`s Gallery is this stunning memorial with a book holding the names of all university alumni lost during the two world wars.
Next to the hall is really nice park, Weston Park where you`ll find this large monument dedicated to the men of the York and Lancashire Regiments who died in the two world wars
This metal brozed memorial is dedicated to those who died in earlier conflicts - Sudan, Boer War, etc
Recent weather in Sheffield has either been either:
ReplyDelete(a) too sunny and hot, or
(b) rain & yet more rain, or very occasionally
(c) “just right”.
At the moment the weather is nice and cool - although it is almost 7pm here - and England vs Spain in the Women’s Euro football is 1:1 and it’s heading to extra time. I have my fingers crossed for England… 🤞🏼
Cheers,
Geoff
Had a wonderful day on Friday, and a fair day in Leeds on Thursday. Yesterday it was raining in Nottingham, but sunny in Leeds.
