War Memorials (provided by N Chadwick)

War memorials were mainly constructed after WWI to commemorate the troops who gave their lives in the war. Many were then updated after WWII. Some war memorials date back to the Boer War. Almost every town and village in Britain has a War Memorial. They take many forms, the commonest being an obelisk, a cross or statue of a soldier. Some commemorate the inhabitants of a place, some are for schools and others are for companies or Military groupings.
Many memorials are grade II listed, 61 are II* listed, LinkExternal link*_listed_war_memorials_in_England

The A494 (provided by David Dixon)

The A494 is a primary trunk route which runs for almost 62 miles between the terminus of the M56 motorway between Mollington and Capenhurst and the A470 at Dolgellau. Its northern sections remain among the busiest roads in Wales. As well as passing through part of the Snowdonia National Park, the A494 also forms part of the North Wales coast route between the A55 and M56.
