Site: J. Lyons war memorial - current location (2 memorials)
W6, Margravine Gardens, Hammersmith Cemetery
The J. Lyons WW1 memorial was originally erected and unveiled in 1922 at the Lyons Sports Ground, Sudbury Hill. There in 1947 the WW2 memorial was added. When that land was sold the double memorial was moved in 1968 to the grounds of the J. Lyons tea factory in Greenford. In 2001 it was moved again, to here, the Hammersmith Cemetery where it was rededicated on 7 October 2002.
In this last move some changes were made (compare with the photo at Greenford). WW2 memorial: some parts were removed; a new base and lintel were added. WW1 memorial: the granite trough was added.
In the absence of any indication to the contrary we've assumed all the names are male, though it seems unlikely that with such a high number of female staff J. Lyons did not lose any of them.
