In 1927 part of the grounds of Park Field house, a 19th century villa on the north side of Manchester Old Road was formally presented to the borough of Middleton.
The land was used to create a garden of remembrance to commemorate the 647 men from Middleton who had lost their lives serving during the First World War.
After the Second World War the names of a further 286 local men who had lost their lives were added to low curved walls on both sides of the original cenotaph.
The garden was laid out with formal paths, high boundary walls and an open loggia to the rear flanking the war memorial.The decorative iron gates to the main entrance were presented in 1949. In 2000 renovation work reinstated a dolphin fountain on the south side of the memorial which had been lost for over 30 years.
Commemorative benches were also installed as part of the World War One centenary tributes in 2018.
