Local History

West Auckland (County Durham)

In 1925 an institute hall was built as a war memorial to commemorate the men of the village who had served and died in the First World War. In 2009 a memorial garden was constructed on the village green in front of a disused pant (water fountain with pump) as a means of regeneration of the former monument and as a way of completing the list of commemorated WW1 soldiers. It also provided a place to commemorate those of the village who served and fell in WW2 and Northern Ireland.
