Memorial Walk, Victoria Park, Leicester. The park is home to two memorials

Memorial Walk, Victoria Park, Leicester.
The park is home to two memorials. The War Memorial, a quadrifrons arch, was designed by Edwin Lutyens and built in 1923, to commemorate the dead of the First World War. The memorial, a Grade I listed building, stands at the top of an ornamental walkway (" Peace Walk" ) with gates (also by Lutyens) opening on to University Road. A smaller memorial near the cafe commemorates the American 82nd Airborne Division, stationed in Leicester prior to D-Day.
The gates and lodges on the London Road side of the park were also designed by Lutyens and built in 1930.
