The Grimsby Cenotaph is situated at Nun’s Corner, Grimsby, an elongated roundabout at the junction of the A46 (Weelsby Road) and the B1203 (Bargate), close to the junction with Eastwood Avenue. Parking may be had along Eastwood Avenue, which is a cul de sac. The memorial is set on a triangular site, at the junction of the roundabout and Eastwood Avenue. A pavement goes straight past the memorial on 2 sides of the site. The site consists of the main structure on its base, rose garden beds, lawns and trees. The site is permanently illuminated, day and night.It is constructed from white Carrara marble especially brought from Italy. The cenotaph stands on a base of grey granite steps, three in all, measuring 6720mm x 5760mm at their widest point. The cenotaph itself measures 6000mm high, and is 2760mm x 1840mm at its base. On December 18th, 1921, the Cenotaph was unveiled by the Mayor of Grimsby, Ald. Frank Thornton.
