Memorial Walk, Victoria Park, Leicester. The park is home to two memorials

Memorial Walk, Victoria Park, Leicester.
The park is home to two memorials. The War Memorial, a quadrifrons arch, was designed by Edwin Lutyens and built in 1923, to commemorate the dead of the First World War. The memorial, a Grade I listed building, stands at the top of an ornamental walkway (" Peace Walk" ) with gates (also by Lutyens) opening on to University Road. A smaller memorial near the cafe commemorates the American 82nd Airborne Division, stationed in Leicester prior to D-Day.
The gates and lodges on the London Road side of the park were also designed by Lutyens and built in 1930.

Memorial Walk, Victoria Park, Leicester - A Stroll Through History

EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time with this print of Memorial Walk in Victoria Park, Leicester. This iconic park holds a special place in the hearts of locals and visitors alike as it is home to not just one, but two significant memorials. The first memorial that catches your eye is the magnificent War Memorial. Designed by renowned architect Edwin Lutyens and erected in 1923, this quadrifrons arch stands tall at the top of an ornamental walkway known as "Peace Walk". Its Grade I listed status pays homage to those who made the ultimate sacrifice during the First World War. As you pass through its gates (also designed by Lutyens) onto University Road, a sense of reverence washes over you. But there's more history to uncover within these park grounds. Near the charming café lies a smaller memorial dedicated to the American 82nd Airborne Division stationed in Leicester before D-Day. It serves as a reminder of international unity and shared sacrifices during times of conflict. As you explore further into Victoria Park, take note of the impressive gates and lodges on London Road. These architectural marvels were also crafted by Lutyens himself and completed in 1930. This evocative print captures both the beauty and historical significance that permeates every corner of Memorial Walk, offering viewers a glimpse into our past while honoring those who came before us.
