COLWYN
BAY WAR MEMORIAL
World War 1 &
2 & Korea - Detailed information
Compiled and copyright © Martin Edwards 2009
World War 2 & Korea - Bill Bagnall
The
main Colwyn Bay war memorial was moved to Queen's Gardens, Conway Road,
Colwyn Bay in 1964 when the Council Offices closed; it was originally
erected in front of the Town Hall originally. The memorial takes the
form of a soldier standing at ease, left foot forward resting on a rock
atop an Ashlar Pylon plinth with a four stepped base. The inscription
is on the front face of the plinth and the names on panels to sides.
The memorial is flanked by cast iron lamp standards to either side.
Below the name panels are friezes that depict soldiers marching to war
("military"); the deck of an armed merchant ship ("naval");
returning soldiers & sailors, some wounded, and nurses ("the
homecoming"). There are 174 names listed for World War 1, 38 for
World War 2 and one for Korea. The scultor was John Cassidy of Manchester,
the engineer and surveyor was Mr W.J. Dunning from Colwyn Bay Council
and the bronze founders were H. H. Martyn & Co. Ltd., of Cheltenham.
The foundation stone was fashioned by two monumental masons, F. M. &
H. Nuttall of Manchester and the local firm of Davies & Son. The
memorial fund collected £1,000. The memorial was unveiled on Saturday
11th November 1922 at 10:30 a.m. by The Right Hon. Lord Colwyn. The
names for World War 1, World War 2 and Korea have been transcribed here.
Close to the main memorial is a further memorial
in the form of an angled tablet made from slate and commemorating those
who did National Sevice. There is also a memorial to the Dunkirk
Veterans in the form of an angled slate tablet and another to celebrated
the Colwyn Bay RAF Association 50th Anniversary.
A futher 50th Anniversary memorial in the same form as the RAF mmeorial
is to be found commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Royal
Artillery Association.

Falkland
war hero memorial plea snub
May
3 2007
by
Martin Williams, North Wales Weekly News
A
FAMILY battling for permission to honour a Falklands war hero on the
25th anniversary of his death has been snubbed.
Ron
Chapman, of Tan-y-Graig Road, Old Colwyn, has been locked in a bitter
dispute with the trustees of Old Colwyn’s war memorial committee
for several years.
Ron
has been trying to erect a plaque or have David Osbourne’s name
added to the memorial list at St Catherine’s Church on Abergele
Road after his 23-year-old nephew was killed on May 4, 1982, when his
ship HMS Sheffield was sunk in action.
He
made the request on behalf of his 73-year-old sister Joyce, who wishes
the committee would see sense.
“This
is a difficult time because this week marks the 25th anniversary of
my David’s death,” said Joyce.
