Manchester Cenotaph

Manchester Cenotaph commemorates Manchester's Fallen during the Great War and is located in St.Peter's Square, close to the Town Hall and Central Library. It was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, and was unveiled on 12 July 1924 by Edward Stanley, the Earl of Derby and a Mrs Bingle, a resident of Ancoats whose three sons had died in the war.

The memorial was dismantled in 2014 and moved to its current location, to make way for the Metrolink extension. The new Memorial Garden was reopened in September 2014.
