Street Shrines

The Civic Society joined forces with Members of Beverley Town Council in a project to restore several of the street memorials erected to commemorate volunteers to the 1st

World War, and to reinstate others that were recorded but had since disappeared. Many

hours were spent applying for funding, searching the records for details of location, design

and content, and the successful reinstatement of the memorials was completed by the unveiling of the Beckside memorial, (illustrated) which was the first to be erected in 1916. Beverley has six street shrines located in Beckside and Flemingate, St. Andrews Street and

Flemingate north of the railway and Lurk Lane, Holme Church Lane, Grovehill Road and

district and Norwood. The Keldgate shrine is a metal plaque and there is a street shrine for

Molescroft, now in Molescroft Pavilion.
