About the memorial: The original memorial was installed into a wall in 1919 see WMO/175945. It was taken down in 1968 when a new road was built. For 40 years it was moved around until it was felt it could not be repaired. Sadly, it is believed the memorial was then disposed of. In 2015, this replacement was erected in a completely different style and potentially recording different people since it was origianlly for WWI and this one has later conflicts added. It has a new square section, polished granite Obelisk with shallow pyramid capping. There are seats, paved area and a screen that make up the surrounding area of the memorial. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Manchester Walk
