* CORWEN MEMORIAL GATES 1902

Does anyone remember these gates in Corwen? (see below)

The left pillar is inscribed:
‘In Commemoration of the safe return of Lieut. Vaughan Wynn from the war in South Africa 1902’

and the right:
‘In Commemoration of the Coronation 9 August 1902 Of King Edward (VII)’.

Across both pillars is written, ‘Erected by the inhabitants of Corwen’.

Does anyone know where they were and why they were demolished?
