1. Hillsborough Disaster Memorial

Inscription. The Hillsborough Justice Campaign commissioned this monument. It is offered as a lasting tribute to the ninety-six men, women and children who were killed in the Hillsborough Stadium Disaster and also to the thousands of survivors who were injured and traumatised on April 15th, 1989.

The monument is a testimony to the good people of this city and beyond, who fought relentlessly for many years to have the true facts of the disaster established and publicly recorded.

The completion of this monument has been enabled by the generosity of people across the world that value truth and justice.

Sculptor: Tom Murphy

“And so, as one, the hushed crowd turned the pages of the book that held the names of the dead. The sound that rose from them was like the great flapping of birds’ wings into the sky. It carried the memories of the faithful who reach into the dark — the teachers whose wisdom was lost, the parents who will never cradle children, the makers whose hands were stilled, the jokers whose laughter vanished, the singers whose songs are silence, the lovers whose love lasts forever.”

Poem: David Charters

John Alfred Anderson

1. The Hillsborough Monument Memorial Sculptor’s Notes.

The people depicted in the design are ‘the guardians of the memory’, or ‘people like us’ Their purpose is symbolic and other figures represent justice, hope and loss. The setting is a beautiful and quiet place, which may help us to think about the characters and individual personalities of those who died. The people who passed away are represented by the birds who fly freely throughout the work. We reflect and empathise with those who died while considering the people they were, and might have been, were it not for the disaster.
