It is opened from 10 to 16 through Monday to Saturday and it’s free. It is a small but beautiful construction on Centenar Square. On the 12th June 1923, The Prince of Wales laid the foundation stone. He said that the building would stand to "symbolise to generations to come that Birmingham stood for, during a period of great national crisis - work of every kind unflinchingly given, compassion to the sick and wounded, courage and resource in adversity, and, above all, self-sacrifice in the face of death." Opened in 1925, stands as a memorial to the men and women of Birmingham who gave their lives in the First World War, Second World War and in active service since 1945. 12,320 Birmingham citizens died and 35,000 were wounded in the First World War. Built of Portland Stone, and constructed almost entirely by Birmingham craftsmen, it was paid by public donations. Around the exterior on granite pedestals stand four larger than life bronze statues by local artist Albert Toft. They represent the Army, Navy, Air Force and Women's Services. Visitors enter the Hall of Memory through huge cast bronze doors. Inside the Hall, a sarcophagus-shaped dais of Siena marble sits in the centre of the marble floor. On top of the shrine rests a glass and bronze casket containing two books: the First World War and Second World War Roll of Honour.

Hall of Memory (1925), es un pequeño edificio de culto en memoria de los ciudadanos de Birmingham caídos en combate durante la 1ª Guerra Mundial, y en que también se han incluido los caídos en la 2ª Guerra Mundial. En su interior encontramos coronas y otras formas de representación de la flor de la amapola roja como un símbolo de paz que recuerda a los caídos en combate. En su exterior encontramos cuatro estatuas de bronce que representan a los ejércitos de tierra, mar y aire, así como el servicio prestado por la mujeres. Existe un libro de visitas donde puedes dejar tus comentarios. Es un edificio que te recuerda lo absurdo de las guerras.

Very sympathetic and peaceful in the hubbub of the city to have a proper building as a memorial. You can go on and sit for a while to contemplate on the sacrifice made by those who stood up to fear, or simply walk it around and read the stone inscriptions and sign the book.

Haciendo turismo por la ciudad, nos encontramos con este monumento en memoria de ciudadanos de Brimingham caídos en la 1ª y 2ª Guerra Mundia. Se puede entrar dentro y verse coronas de flores con cada uno de los nombres de cada uno de ellos. Emotivo de ver.

Allegations by Abergavenny public to gwent police not true. I drive on roads, can you join a round about without stopping, I can now as gwent police have enforced this challenge upon me. I have medical conditions which need monitoring,

Finding it open is its biggest problem. But it's a remarkable place which records the men who lost their lives in the Great War. If we don't learn from history and their loss we are doomed to make the same mistakes.

Hall of Memory for great soldiers who fought for peace and better world. This place is at Centenary Square close to Birmingham Library. Nearest Tram station is Library just a minute walk from there.

It's a building right in the middle of the city centre, somrwhat out of place... But it's absolutely fitting for remembering the fallen. Serene and brings a tear to your eye at its unique placement.

It's all too easy, to forget the many lives that have been lost, so we can live in peace and freedom. This memorial is a perfect way to help remind us!
