Hall of Memory

The Birmingham Hall of Memory was built in 1925 to honour the 12,320 Brummies who lost their lives in WWI. For nearly a century, this Grade I listed war memorial has stood as a dignified symbol of remembrance in the heart of our city.

The Bull Ring, New Street, High Street, and Dale End all suffered heavy damage, St Martin in the Bull Ring was damaged and the Prince of Wales Theatre and Midland Arcade were destroyed. Other areas including Small Heath, Aston and Nechells, also suffered heavy damage.
