Description: | This memorial can be found on the side of a solicitors building called 'Paris Smith and Randall' in Southampton. This building is located on the cross roads of London Road and Above Bar Street in Southampton.
This memorial however is a replica of an old one which was located inside the old Southampton Library which used to stand where the solicitors office does today. The library however was destroyed by a bomb attack during the blitz of World War II.
The original memorial was originally unveiled by the Mayor of Southampton, H, Bowyer on April 19, 1913. The members and friends of the Amalgamated Musicians Union, the Southampton Branch raised the money in order for it to be built. It was dedicated to the musicians, W. Hartley, R. Bricoux, W.T. Brailey, J. Woodward, J.F. Clarke, J.L. Hulme and P.C. Taylor, who lost their lives on the Titanic, when she struck an iceberg and sank, April 15, 1912.
A replica of the memorial was not built until 1990. This time it was unveiled by Titanic survivors Edith Haisman, Milvina Dean, Bert Dean and Eva Harte, March 7, 1990. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Rights holder: | Hampshire Library and Information Service - Hampshire County Council | Subjects: | Paris Smith and Randall memorials death White Star Line Titanic memorial Amalgamated Musicians Union W.T Brailey J.F Clarke P.C Taylor E Haisman disaster B Dean R Bricoux Dean, Dean, M E Harte J.L Hulme J Woodward Titanic musician memorial W Hartley | Temporal: | start=2004-08-09; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Zoe Darani, Hampshire Library and Information Service | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
