Railway Worker Memorial Finds New Home In Wales

Construction News Image
A memorial dedicated to 16 railway workers who died serving in World War One has found a new home in Wales.

It was originally unveiled in March 1919 at St David's Church in Bangor, but the church closed in 2013.

The memorial has now been formally reinstated at Bangor railway station at a ceremony attended by Network Rail, Assembly Member for Arfon, Sian Gwenllian AM, and over 50 local members of the community.

Bill Kelly, Network Rail's route director for Wales and Borders, said: "Those who have worked on the railways have a strong and proud history and the re-dedication of this memorial at Bangor station is a very fitting tribute.

"I am extremely proud that Network Rail was able to offer this memorial a new home and I hope it serves many generations to come as an acknowledgement of the ultimate contribution these 16 men made to their communities and country."

Siân Gwenllian AM added: "It is incredibly humbling to be part of the re-dedication of the Bangor Railway Institute War Memorial, in memory of local railway workers who lost their lives during the First World War.

"I'm pleased this memorial will be given a prominent position at Bangor station; a fitting tribute to the 16 members of the Bangor Railway Institute Boys' Corps who gave their lives during the Great War.

"I pay tribute to all those involved in preserving this important piece of local history, and to Network Rail for stepping-in to provide the Memorial with a permanent home, ensuring it stays in our city."
