Description:Memorial to the memory of the men from Lotus who fell in the First World War and the Second World War. When the Lotus factory on Sandon Road was demolished in 1998, the memorial was moved to nearby John Wheeldon School on Corporation Street, where an annual memorial service is held.

Bostock's became Lotus Ltd. in 1919. The Sandon Road factory was demolished in 1998.
