Wigan Cenotaph and War Memorial to the
Fallen of the Great War 1914-18
THE Cenotaph to almost 2000 men - and one
woman - from the former County Borough of
Wigan who fell in the Great War, 1914-18 was
unveiled 75 years ago on Saturday 17 October
1925.
The memorial which was
unveiled that day was the
culmination of six years’ effort
and hard work. As early as
September 1919 Wigan Town
Council had debated the
possibility of erecting a
memorial to the fallen, and in
November 1919 a War Memorial
Committee was established,
chaired by Alderman Ainscough.
This committee met at irregular
intervals to co-ordinate
arrangements. In September
1920 the possibility of replacing
the temporary shrine to the
fallen, which had been
spontaneously built in Mesnes
Park, with a permanent
memorial was put forward to the
Borough Engineer, who
estimated the cost at £1500. In
April 1921 the committee
recommended that the fountain
in Mesnes Park should be
removed and replaced by the
new war memorial; the
Council’s Property, Parks and
Markets Committee, however,
disapproved of the choice of site.
Discussions in committee
concerning a suitable location
continued and several locations
were reviewed:
*various other sites within
Mesnes Park.
*outside the Post Office in
Wallgate.
*at the junction of Wigan
Lane and Swinley Road.
*on the Market Square.
*in the Market Place.
*in the grounds of the Royal
Infirmary.
Fundraising also continued
and in November 1923 a street
collection raised over £2000 - a
tremendous sum in those days. In
1924, with time rapidly passing,
the War Memorial Committee
finally chose an acceptable site -
immediately in front of All Saints
Parish Church, in the very centre
of the town - and the Rector and
Parish Council promptly donated
the land.
Unveiled
Events now moved rapidly
and by February 1925 the full
Town Council accepted the
design by their chosen architect
Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, who had
built Liverpool’s Anglican
Cathedral. By May the sculptor
Edward Owen Griffiths was able
to commence work levelling the
site and creating what is now All
Saints Gardens; construction
advanced so rapidly that it was
finished in time to be unveiled in
October 1925, allowing a
Remembrance Day Service the
following month. The final cost
was £4,000, paid for entirely by
public subscription.
Shortly after noon on
Saturday 17 October 1925 both
Wallgate and Market Place were
thronged with a huge crowd and
traffic was halted all afternoon.
The weather during the morning
had been showery but the rain
ceased shortly after 3 o’clock.
The small square immediately
around the Cenotaph was
restricted to ticket holders, and
owing to the shortage of space it
was only possible to
accommodate one relative for
each of the deceased whose
names were engraved on the
tablets, although a special
enclosure was set aside for the
orphan children.
The Mayor, who had lost a
son in the war, opened the
ceremony with a short speech:
“We are come to honour our
brethren who gave their lives for
us and for this country in a just
cause. This memorial is the
witness of our love for their
memory; and the constant
pledge and reminder to us of
their valour and our duty.”
Mr. J.M. Ainscough, the
main driving force behind the
project, then added:
“We are assembled this
afternoon to fulfil an obligation
which has been far too long
delayed; an obligation to place
in some conspicuous position a
permanent tangible memorial to
those of our townsmen who gave
their lives in the great struggle of
1914-18 that we might have
peace and security. After a long
and anxious deliberation it was
decided to place the memorial on
this site in the very centre and
heart of our town, a crowned
cross the symbol of sacrifice and
victory. On these stones we have
carved the names not of those
who distinguished themselves in
the fight; nor that great number
who, thank God, returned
unscathed many of whom are
with us today, but the names of
our fellow townsmen who went
out in the vigour of strength and
youth never to return. I trust then
that in the future our people will
approach this spot with even
greater reverence than in the
past and that this memorial may
never be defiled by any
sacrilegious hands.”
Military Dignitaries
Among the military
dignitaries present was Colonel
Sir Henry Darlington,
Commanding Officer of the 1/5
Manchesters, Wigan’s territorial
battalion, and Major General
Solly-Flood who had
commanded their division, 42nd
Division. The actual unveiling
was by General Lawrence who
had been brigadier of the 1/5
Manchesters in Gallipoli and had
commanded the 66th Division
including the 2/5 Manchesters.
He spoke briefly:
“I believe that if those whose
names are on this monument
could convey a message to us
today it would be to say:
‘Be of good cheer
The night is passing
The dawn is at hand
Only have faith in
yourselves
Have faith in your country.’
And perhaps what is better still,
when your time comes and you
pass to another life you will meet
these old comrades that have
gone before you and you will be
able to say:
‘We carried on the fight.
We never gave in.’
I unveil this memorial placed here
in the memory of the men of
Wigan who fell in the Great War.”
After the Doxology and
National Anthem the church
bells pealed and there was
wreath-laying, first by officials
and relatives of the fallen then by
the general public. As he laid his
personal wreath the late Private
Thomas Woodcock’s little son
wore his father’s Victoria Cross.
Poignant Reading
How were the names
collected? Already in July 1919
the Borough Library had written
to the local newspapers to ask
families and next-of-kin of the
fallen to submit individual
names and had circularised local
churches and firms with a
request for them to send in lists
of their congregations or
employees killed in action. Their
replies exist in the Borough
The Jiva Amla Tablet has Indian gooseberry (amla) as the main ingredient. Amla is the king of herbs because of the whole range of vital ayurvedic properties it harbors. It balances tridoshas, purifies the body systems and rejuvenates weakened dhatus. Its blood purifying and digestive properties are unparalleled. The ingredients we use are much more potent than what others use because we have stringent quality control terms in procuring the ingredients from organic, natural sources. We also sort the ingredients to get the right stage of maturity for the part that is used. If you feel general weakness or are prone to diseases, you should take a full dose of this tablet and see how your general immunity goes up several notches.

This is a photograph from the 30th Annual AXA Raheny 5 Mile Road Race 2014 took place in Raheny Village, Dublin, Ireland on Sunday January 26th 2014 at 15:00. The 'Raheny 5' has become one of the most famous road races in Ireland. The race has continued to grow year-on-year and this year was no exception on the year of it's 30th Anniversary. Almost 3,000 participants took part in the various events of the day. The incredible voluntary organisational work carried out by Raheny Shamrocks and the local community in staging the race every year must be acknowledged.
The weather was postively wintery today. There was an icy wind blowing into the face of the runners at various points in the course. This made for some very variable mile-splits. Overall the weather was favourable in that the rain stayed away and there was some helpful 'wind at the back' for the runners in places.
The race route starts at All Saints Park and goes into Raheny Village via Watermill Road. The route then turns west and along the Howth Road before turning left onto Sybill Hill Road. The route then turns left again onto Mount Prospect Avenue and continues until you run down to the sea-front and the Clontarf Road. The only real hill in the course is at the left turn from Clontarf Road onto Watermill Road. Finally, at the North East end of St. Anne's Park the race turns left and makes it way to the finish which is positioned at the start area of the race.
We have an extensive set of photographs from today's race at the 1 mile and then 400 meters to go. The full set is available at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157640185381674/

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!

Case tablet 10"
Prêmio para a ganhadora do sorteio realizado no blog!
I was fooling around with a sketching app on Laura's Acer tablet. Nice machine, I could see myself using this as a sketchbook, but only once it comes down to <$500. And the battery life gets up in the 15-20 hour range. I think I have to wait 3-5 years at most.
Drawn in 2005.
This is a photograph from the first running of the Mullingar Half Marathon which was held on Tuesday 17th March 2015 St. Patrick's Day Lá Fhéile Pádraig in Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland at 11:00. Just under 600 people participated in the event which was a wonderful success on the event's first running. The event was in aid of the charity Childline. The weather was perfect for distance running and the course was a perfect mixture of town, flat bogland country roads and a long stretch along the beautiful Royal Canal. The race started on Austin Friars' Street and finished in town park beside the Annebrook Hotel.

ayer por la tarde me puse a hacer una funda para mi tablet, porque tiene un tamaño al parecer poco común, así que me puse manos a la obra, con material que tenía por casa y este fue el resultado.
