Sunderland War Memorial Wall
Sunderland War Memorial Wall
Sunderland’s War Memorial stands in Burdon Road, just outside Mowbray Park. The wall, between the memorial and the park, is a permanent, architectural tribute to servicemen and women from the community who have died in conflict, training, special operations and non-conflict operations since the Second World War. Since the formal dedication of the Memorial Wall on Armistice Day 2012, there has been an annual 'roll call' asking for people to put forward new names to be inscribed on the wall in time for Remembrance Day (LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link ) Sunderland City Council).


The highly decorated, cast iron lamp standard dates from approximately 1925. It is one of four surrounding the war memorial; each is grade-II listed (English Heritage List Entry Number: 1207061 Heritage Gateway).
