Boer War Memorial
Cannon Hill Park, Birmingham, United KingdomTel: +44 121 442 4226
Cannon Hill is one of the city's best-known parks and houses the mac - Midlands Arts Centre. It is also home to Birmingham's memorial to those who died in the 1899-1901 Boer War in South Africa. The memorial, built in 1905, is at the northern end of the park, near Edgbaston Road. It comprises a bronze sculpture on a red granite pedestal and is over 12 feet high. It shows a gun carriage flanked by soldiers below an idealised female figure representing peace. It was sculpted by Albert Toft, who was also responsible for the figures at the Hall of Memory, and at the time was regarded as the finest of the many monuments to the fallen in the South Africa War.
