Talk:Hove War Memorial

Pevsner
“At the head of Grand Avenue the Howe War Memorial, 1920-1 by Lutyens, a granite Doric column topped by a bronze figure of St George, by Sir George Frampton. The two designed a very similar war memorial at Fordham, Cambridgeshire, the same year and Frampton had used an almost identical bronze of St George for T. G. Jackson’s 1903 Second Boer War memorial at Radley College, Oxfordshire.”

 * p.s. - I can’t say I think much of its setting! KJP1 (talk) 13:43, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much! That's another pint I owe you! I promise I don't only love you for your Pevsner collection, though I am envious of it! And no, I don't think the setting is the best. It feels hidden away. I'd have put it on the sea front or further inland by the station so it feels more like a part of the fabric of the town.

 * Welcome, as ever. It’s the siting on the mini-roundabout that I particularly dislike! But I suspect the road layout was different at installation, . KJP1 (talk) 14:31, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

 * I'll have a look at what Hassocks sends over from Middleton but I'd appreciate it if you two could cast your eyes over the article and let me know what you think, fix any typos, etc, before I consider taking it to FAC. Much obliged! :) HJ Mitchell &#124; Penny for your thoughts? 22:00, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

A few more bits

 * - IWM
 * - War Memorials Online
 * - Victorian Web
 * - Quite nice image of the library plaque, but RS?
 * - Quite interesting on the listing designation

Sure, I’ll give it a once-over. Have added a few more bits above that may be usable. KJP1 (talk) 07:43, 27 November 2022 (UTC)


 * The first four don't contain a lot of information. The IWM and WMO are linked from the listing. I've had the reliability of WMO questioned at FAC before because most of the information is user-submitted and WWI Yorkshires looks like a hobby site. I've worked in a citation to the Victorian Web piece even though it doesn't say a lot and I've added some bits from the Regency Society, which should pass muster. And some background from the encyclopaedia which Hassocks provided. Thanks! HJ Mitchell &#124; Penny for your thoughts? 12:48, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
