Holsworthy Has a New Pharmacy in the Town Centre.
Holsworthy Town Council is pleased to announce that a new pharmacy has now opened in the town centre. The Mayor, Councillor Jon Hutchings visited the premises and met with Sam and Alex from Allied Pharmacies, who confirmed that they are officially open for business.
While the shelves are not yet fully stocked, they will increase the stock to suit our community’s needs. Different areas require different types of stock and as the team learns more about the specific requirements for our community, the range of available products will continue to grow.
This is fantastic news for Holsworthy and we are delighted to welcome Allied Pharmacies to the town.
Allied Pharmacies is located in the former Lloyds Bank building.
New Memorial Bench at Glebelands
Holsworthy Town Council is pleased to announce the installation of a new memorial bench at the top of Glebelands, replacing the previous bench which had fallen into disrepair.
This project involved considerable effort to establish ownership of the original bench and the land on which it stood. Holsworthy Town Council agreed to replace the bench to ensure the area remained a welcoming and reflective space for the community.
With the help of Academic Facilities Services, the new bench has now been installed and dedicated to commemorate the 80th anniversary of VJ Day, which was marked earlier this year.
The surrounding area has also been improved, including the installation of a new planter, the planting of bulbs and the removal of graffiti.
The Council would like to extend its sincere thanks to Councillor Cole and the volunteers, including Louis Devitt and Robin, for their hard work and commitment to enhancing this community space.
As all the work has now been completed, it was fitting that the bench was dedicated on 11th November, on the day of remembrance.
Holsworthy Remembers – Armistice Day 2025
Holsworthy’s War Memorial Renovations
Holsworthy Town Council are pleased to announce that the War Memorial renovations have been completed.
Earlier this week, the Mayor Councillor Jon Hutchings, had the pleasure of meeting William of Arthur W. Bryant’s Funeral Services to inspect the completed works to Holsworthy’s War Memorial.
All the names have been repainted and the name John Bailey was added in time for this year’s Remembrance Sunday.
John Bailey was left off of the original War Memorial because he was born in the workhouse here in Holsworthy and his name was never put forward, which in those days had to be paid for.
The volunteers in the Holsworthy Museum have worked hard for many years to get his name added. The Town Council investigated if the addition was allowed and agreed to fund the work. With the help of Bryant’s the work has been completed in time for this weekends Act of remembrance which will take place at the war memorial after the service at the Chapel on Sunday which starts at 3pm.
Private John Bailey was born on 17th February 1885 in the Holsworthy workhouse and enlisted into the Devonshire Regiment in January 1908.
He was wounded on 18th December 1914 and later died of his wounds on the 27th December aged 29.
We would like to give a big thanks to Arthur W. Bryant Funeral Service for their swift works at a substantially discounted rate.
