Hall of Memory for great soldiers who fought for peace and better world. This place is at Centenary Square close to Birmingham Library. Nearest Tram station is Library just a minute walk from there.

Love and respect for the honourable service 🙏🏽

It is opened from 10 to 16 through Monday to Saturday and it’s free. It is a small but beautiful construction on Centenar Square. On the 12th June 1923, The Prince of Wales laid the foundation stone. He said that the building would stand to "symbolise to generations to come that Birmingham stood for, during a period of great national crisis - work of every kind unflinchingly given, compassion to the sick and wounded, courage and resource in adversity, and, above all, self-sacrifice in the face of death." Opened in 1925, stands as a memorial to the men and women of Birmingham who gave their lives in the First World War, Second World War and in active service since 1945. 12,320 Birmingham citizens died and 35,000 were wounded in the First World War. Built of Portland Stone, and constructed almost entirely by Birmingham craftsmen, it was paid by public donations. Around the exterior on granite pedestals stand four larger than life bronze statues by local artist Albert Toft. They represent the Army, Navy, Air Force and Women's Services. Visitors enter the Hall of Memory through huge cast bronze doors. Inside the Hall, a sarcophagus-shaped dais of Siena marble sits in the centre of the marble floor. On top of the shrine rests a glass and bronze casket containing two books: the First World War and Second World War Roll of Honour.

It's a building right in the middle of the city centre, somrwhat out of place... But it's absolutely fitting for remembering the fallen. Serene and brings a tear to your eye at its unique placement.

The Hall of Memory is a war memorial erected in 1925 in remembrance of the 12,320 citizens of Birmingham who died in World War I. On the outside, there are four statues to symbolically represent the Army, Air Force, Navy and Woman's Service. Inside the structure takes the form of circular hall and the centre, contained in a protective glass is a book of remembrance of those who died. The inside is quiet and peaceful solemn place to honour our war died. The building stands prominently in Centenary square, as such a memorial should.

While sightseeing in the city, we came across this memorial to Birmingham citizens who fell in World Wars I and II. You can go inside and see wreaths bearing each of their names. It's a moving sight.

Hall of Memory (1925), is a small building of worship in memory of the citizens of Birmingham who fell in combat during the First World War, and which also includes those who fell in the Second World War. Inside we find wreaths and other forms of representation of the red poppy flower as a symbol of peace that remembers those who have fallen in combat. Outside we find four bronze statues that represent the armies of land, sea and air, as well as the service provided by women. There is a guest book where you can leave your comments. It is a building that reminds you of the absurdity of wars.

It's all too easy, to forget the many lives that have been lost, so we can live in peace and freedom. This memorial is a perfect way to help remind us!

The square is beautiful, the surroundings are clean. In winter, there is an ice rink and a small amusement park.

김.

The War Memorial is a building built to commemorate the Civic War Memorial, and it seems surprising that it is located in the city center.

Beautiful place,Calm and peaceful. Tribute to the brave soilders

Nice place where those who lost their lives in the war can be remembered.

D.

Very sympathetic and peaceful in the hubbub of the city to have a proper building as a memorial. You can go on and sit for a while to contemplate on the sacrifice made by those who stood up to fear, or simply walk it around and read the stone inscriptions and sign the book.

N. Z.

Beautiful place, terrible behaviour

G. M.

Finding it open is its biggest problem. But it's a remarkable place which records the men who lost their lives in the Great War. If we don't learn from history and their loss we are doomed to make the same mistakes.
