This memorial takes the form of a tall obelisk, on the landward side of the promenade. It is positioned on the axis created by Gloddaeth Street, the wide road running from the west to north shores. Anyone looking northwards along the street can see the memorial in the distance.
The memorial was designed by architect Sidney Colwyn Foulkes, who was based in Colwyn Bay and designed many of the area’s finest buildings of the early 20th century.
