Kimberley War Memorial is a remarkable and unusual landmark in the centre of the town, and was Grade II listed in 1987. Nottingham architects Brewill & Bailey came up with the unique domed memorial supported by 6 columns and surmounted by a 4-dial clock we see today. The builders were Pask & Thorpe (stonemasons, Nottingham), together with Rowland Bros., (builders, Kimberley.) G Cope & Sons, Nottingham, supplied the clock. (The mechanical clock was replaced by an electrically driven movement during the latter half of the 20th century). Building work commenced in September 1920. The total cost of the finished Memorial was £1,200-1921 (£60,251-2021) raised by public appeal.
