About the memorial: Llandudno Bay, with its beautiful beach of golden sand and rocky backdrop is a quintessential historic seaside resort in North Wales. An impressive crescent of Victorian housing is part of a vista that includes Llandudno Pier. The celebrated historic townscape includes the grand and imposing Llandudno war memorial, designed by local architect Sidney Colwyn Foulkes, located near North Shore Beach. The towering Grade II listed granite obelisk stands 13.6 metre high (45ft) on a stepped base and plinth. Atop is an orb finial. The stonework at the base of the memorial carries ornate carvings of classical Greek symbolism including foliage swag, laurel wreaths and key string courses. These are in the Art-Deco fashion of the 1920’s. The memorial is surrounded by low slender chained bollards. The base and plinth carry bronze plaques. Over 200 names are cast on the World War I plaques with more than 100 names added after World War II. There are further dedications following the conflicts in Korea and Iraq. The small garden around the memorial is also home to other military and service plaques including the Korean War stone (WMO/224213).
