Site: WW1, Fryatt and Wilson (3 memorials)

EC2, Liverpool Street Station

Prior to the restoration of the station these memorials stood elsewhere. The war memorial was originally erected in the booking hall. One can see that the arrangement has been rather cobbled together - the lift would not have been part of any original design. The stone frieze, "Great Eastern Railway", was salvaged from Harwich House.

2024: Londonist comments on the lift that is integrated into this memorial.

2025: In his 'Memoirs of an Infantry Officer' Siegfried Sassoon describes (on page 208) arriving to catch a train to Cambridge in the immediate aftermath of the 13 June 1917 bomb attack which killed 13 people.
