Are the Gates in Ealing - West London?

If so tell me where & I'll go and photograph them for you

I grew up around there. They are more than gates. Two lengthly stone panels extending out from the gates off the green (opposite the Pub Queen Vic I think)). They are in front of the public libratry (is it still there?) by Walpole Park (?).

Ealing war memorial

It was in January 1919, two months after the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front, that the proposal was first made to erect a permanent memorial to the men and women of Ealing who had given their lives in the Great War. By October, £5,565 had been collected for the project.


There was talk that the actual war memorial would be a heavy gun mounted on stone. After long deliberation it was agreed that the memorial was to be on a site in front of Pitzhanger Manor on Ealing Green. The memorial was to be a gateway, in front of the manor’s main entrance. It was to comprise of two walls, which would list the names of those who had been killed in the war. Finally, there would be a tree-lined avenue from St. Mary’s Road across the green to the gateway. The man who eventually designed the war memorial was Leonard Shuffrey, a local architect.

That's about all I know

It was nice to see a picture of The memorial, my Great Grand mothers brother Private William Thomas Constable is listed on the memorial, William served with the 11th battalion Royal Fusilliers and died on 13 November 1918 and is buried in St Sever Cemetery Extension Rouen.
