Description:
The Hall of Memory, Centenary Square (by COOKE & TWIST), erected to commemorate 12,320 Birmingham citizens who died in the Great War, is the domed building to the right. Exterior sculptures, Allegories of Army, Navy, Air Force and Women's Services, are by TOFT. The sculptures visible are representations of the Navy (right) and the Air Force. The paving in the foreground is part of the design for the whole of Centenary Square by JARAY (1991). Baskerville House is the building in the background with a neo-classical facade and a modern glass extension on top of the roof.
