Description
The monument is situated at south end of Victoria Gardens, in an angle between North Road and the slip-road to Gwbert Road. It is a War Memorial in grey granite, a reduced version of the Cenotaph, Whitehall, London. Two wide granite steps, then low 2-stage plinth, the upper stage with '1914-1918' in raised numerals, under high base with bronze name plaques and 'The Glorious Dead' incised above. Set-back stage above with laurel wreath in relief, as on the Cenotaph, then 3 receding small steps to top 'altar' with rebated corners, shallow ridged cap and incised rosette on front.
The Memorial is broader to the front than the sides, unlike the Cenotaph, where the decoration is on the narrower ends.
Chain link low fence around with cast iron spearhead uprights. (Cadw Listing d/base).
