Paddington Station, WW1 Memorial
Preserving a war memorial for the nation.
– Paddington Railway Station, London, W2.
– Phase 1 & 2
– Value: £100,000
We were entrusted with the task of restoring the Grade II listed World War I memorial at Paddington Station. Dedicated to the memory of employees of the Great Western Railway who gave their lives during the war, the original stonework was designed by the architect Thomas S. Tait, and the bronze figure was created by the sculptor Charles Sargeant Jagger. The memorial was unveiled on Armistice Day in 1922 by Viscount Churchill.
Our team of heritage specialists worked in situ to restore the lime render transept and redecorate the intricate cast and wrought iron balcony to preserve this important memorial for generations to come.
“The work does look beautiful - Rosewood have done a great job. I can confirm the photos don't do justice and it looks better in real life!”
