On February 10th 2013, the Mayor of Newbury unveiled this marble plaque to remember the victims of the bombing in 1943. The memorial is close to the spot where the first bomb landed.

Additional Note:
The Shaw cemetery at Shaw Hill contains the communal grave of 13 of the 15 victims of the 1943 bombing and other Newbury inhabitants who lost their lives during the Second World War.
