Road improvements necessitated the removal in 1964 of the memorial from its original site (at the junction of the roads to Whitfield, Norton and Ball Green) to a new position in a lawned setting on a post war housing development in Ball Green where it is here seen. With the incision of the dates 1914-1918 and 1939-1945 in the small panel at the base of the shaft of the cross, the memorial now commemorates the Whifield dead of two World Wars.
