Northbridge Memorial Clock Print Page
Northbridge Memorial Clock was originally erected in memory of those who paid the supreme sacrifice in World War Two. Funding was received in 2014 to restore and upgrade the memorial. On the 11th November 2014, additional plaques were added to the memorial bearing the names of servicemen who died in both World Wars.
The Memorial Clock to the men of Northbridge who died in World War Two was unveiled by the Governor of New South Wales, Lieutenant- General Northcott on the 8th May 1948. The money for the Memorial Clock was raised by the Northbridge Women's Comforts Fund.
