Hoxton War Memorial

I recently attended the rededication of the war memorial which commemorates the North London line railwaymen who fell during the First World War between 1914 and 1918.

The war memorial has been relocated to Hoxton overground station. The memorial was originally installed at the former Broad Street station on 10 February 1921. The memorial was put in temporary storage at Richmond Station, south west London in 1989.

The memorial is tucked away from the most used pedestrian routes from Hoxton Station. You need to turn right out of the station entrance.

As a trustee of the War memorials Trust I am committed to finding suitable sites for war memorials which remain in storage.

I am pleased that, after 22 years Transport for London has found a public site in Hackney to commemorate those 64 railwaymen who made the ultimate sacrifice.
