Notes:

1. The Ashington Memorial Garden was developed in 2015 and provides an area for quiet reflection recognising the service given, and sacrifice made, in times of conflict by the Ashington community.

2. At the centrepiece of the Garden is the War Memorial incorporating the ‘Unknown Soldier’ created by sculptor Tom Maley in 2001. A new Memorial recognising conflicts after 1945 is also centrally located next to the War Memorial. Over 1,000 people from the Ashington community gave their lives in the World Wars.

3. Extensive research by local historians enabled the development of new plaques for the Memorial, correcting significant omissions and errors and fully recognising those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their country.

4. The Sergeant Hugh Cairns VC government paving stone [a memorial in it’s own right] was added on the 21st October 2018. The Airfields of Britain Conservation Trust tablet commemorating Ashington Airfield [a memorial in it’s own right] was added on the 1st November 2018. There are also several wooden seats with brass Dedication Plaques in the memorial area which are worth recording, although they are not in themselves memorials.

5. At the centrepiece of the Garden, designed by Hugh Massey Architects, is the War Memorial incorporating the ‘Unknown Soldier’ created by sculptor Tom Maley in 2001. A new Memorial recognising conflicts after 1945 is also centrally located next to the War Memorial.

6. The project began in 2014 on the site of the previous war memorial and physical works were completed in October 2015. A Re-dedication Service for the War Memorial took place on Friday 6th November.

7. The principal contractor was Brambledown Landscape Services Ltd with support from Azure Printing, Barry Mead Heritage Consultancy and Rivermeade Signs Ltd.

8. Ashington Town Council, with support from the Heritage Lottery Fund, has also worked with local schools to develop information boards that are placed within the Garden (pictured) on a variety of military themes.
As part of this element Ashington school children attended the theatre production ‘Notes from the Front’ based on experiences of a WWI soldier, visited the Otterburn WWI military training trenches and met with military veterans.
