Runcorn War Memorial, Grade II listed war memorial in Runcorn, England
The memorial features a white granite Latin cross standing 3.5 meters high on an octagonal plinth with three octagonal steps at Greenway Road junction.
The memorial was unveiled in November 1920 by Colonel William Bromley Davenport to honor local servicemen who died during World War I and World War II.
The memorial includes marble plaques mounted on a sandstone wall listing names of fallen servicemen, serving as a central location for Remembrance Day services.
Located at the intersection of Greenway Road, Weston Road, and Moughland Lane, the memorial remains open for public viewing throughout the year.
The granite used in construction was specially sourced from Kit Hill Quarry in Cornwall, with scrolled brackets adorning the base of the memorial.
