DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND
The Tamworth War Memorial Town Hall is a two-storey brick building, dedicated to those who served in the First World War. Attached to front of the building, positioned around its three entrance arches, are several bronze plaques. One plaque details the official opening and dedication of the hall on 20 November 1934.

Another plaque was presented to the Legacy Club of Tamworth in recognition of 50 years of service. Legacy came to Tamworth in 1945, when Mr Cliff Oliver and others were invited by Sydney Legacy to form a Legacy Contact Group. Early in 1948, Tamworth accepted full responsibility of all Legacy activities in the area, which included Tamworth, Gunnedah, Quirindi, Werris Creek, Wallabadah, Manilla, Barraba, Narrabri, and Boggabri.

Two other plaques are listed separately on the NSW War Memorials Register as the Tamworth Australia Remembers Plaque and the Tamworth Remembrance Day 80th Anniversary Memorial Plaque.
