Visit this memorial to see how rural and industrial communities north of Timaru remembered their dead. Local collection records identify the Washdyke War Memorial as dedicated to Levels and Washdyke locals who lost their lives in the world wars.
Washdyke links farming, industry, transport routes and Timaru’s northern approach. It is a strong extension after visiting Smithfield, Ashbury Park or the horses memorial.
