Rochdale War Memorial
Rochdale War Memorial is situated on Esplanade in Rochdale opposite the Town Hall and is on the site of the old Manor House which was demolished in 1922. Rochdale Council purchased the site from private ownership in 1921.
The Memorial is constructed of light grey Cornish granite and is surrounded by paving and gardens. To the front of the Memorial is the War Stone which in appearance resembles an Altar Stone. This is entirely without carving or ornamentation of any kind except for the inscription "Their Name Liveth for Evermore".
