Ilford War Memorial was unveiled in 1922 to commemorate soldiers from Ilford who had died in the First World War. It comprises a stone obelisk surmounted by a cross on a tall stone plinth raised on three steps, with a bronze life-size figure of a soldier on its south side, designed by the sculptor Newbury Abbot Trent (1885-1953). It is located in Newbury Park, some distance north of the centre of Ilford, in the War Memorial Gardens on the north side of the A12 Eastern Avenue. It is a Grade II Listed Structure.
