Newbiggin Colliery War Memorial
Highlight • Monument
It stands as a testament to the 575 employees who served, of whom 92 tragically lost their lives.
Constructed of granite, sandstone, and bronze, the memorial features a striking Doric column rising from a square pedestal with a circular stepped base. This central element is positioned on a large circular platform, encircled by a concrete seat with a paneled parapet. A bronze tablet on the front of the pedestal bears the poignant inscription:
"To the Glorious Memory/of the 575 Officers and men/from Newbiggin Colliery/who served in the/Great War 1914-1918/of whom 92/died in the Cause/of/Liberty"
Commissioned by the Newbiggin Colliery Company, this memorial reflects the significant impact of the war on the community. An astonishing 40% of the colliery's workforce enlisted to serve their country. The memorial was unveiled on July 9, 1921, by Major-General Sir R. A. Kerr Montgomery.
This well-designed memorial serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the men of Newbiggin Colliery. It is a poignant example of how communities across the nation honoured their fallen heroes. The North East War Memorials Project has recommended this memorial for listing as a Grade II structure, recognising its historical and architectural importance.
