The Swavesey Chronicles

Following the relocation of the Lloyds TSB's Head Office from Lombard Street to Gresham Street in the City of London, it became necessary to resite the old Lloyds Bank War Memorial. This is the story of how this project bacame a fascinating journey into the past. Arthur Taylor, a veteran of the Crimean War. Bernard Taylor, Royal Marine from the Great War. Alfred Baker a veteran from the 1860 China Campaign. Plus post war photographs of V1 sites from Joan Curme. This is a project designed to document Clevedon local War Memorials. In fact the word 'war memorial' is a bit of a misnomer since Clevedon, almost uniquely, has a 'peace memorial' as it's main focus of remembrance.
