This Great War memorial was presented to Huyton-with-Roby Urban District Council by Mr.George Hinde Nisbett JP, an Electrical Engineer at the British Insulated & Helsby Cables who had the structure erected at his own expense. Mr Nisbett's son was one of the local soldiers, along with Richard Welding, who died during the conflict.
The Memorial was unveiled without ceremony in February 1921. It was originally positioned in front of the old HUDC buildings in Derby Road but today occupies a position facing the Huyton Suite in Civic Way.
