The Grade II listed https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1416963 war memorial at Davyhulme Circle Image The uppermost part of the cenotaph on all four faces has an illuminated brass clock dial glazed in opal. Below the clock dials is a carved band with relief lettering that reads in an anti-clockwise direction around the cenotaph from the west face: 'IN MEMORY OF/ THOSE WHO FELL IN/ THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 - 1918'. The east face of the cenotaph has a small timber hatch set to the centre of the shaft that provides access to the clock mechanism inside, which consists of a Graham deadbeat escapement and a nickel steel pendulum.
