Just up Lake Road from the Royalty Cinema in Bowness-on-Windermere lies Windermere’s War Memorial, a stone wall with plinth in the centre surmounted by a tapered rectangular column. A laurel wreath and sword of sacrifice are on the front face of the column.

The WW1 inscription on the wall reads “In undying memory of the men who fell in the Great War.” Posts at each end bear WW2 names on the internal panels:-

Central column:-

The plinth contains names for the Great War:-

The external left hand post bears a name from the Korean War 1951. Great War names beyond.

The right hand external post contains a dedication “On active service 1985.” Great War names beyond:-

Second World War Names on internal faces of the posts:-

Our sojourn to Barrow (see earlier posts) was really to take a look at stuff in the Lake District, whose main town is Bowness-on-Windermere.

Among others of Bowness’s sights I found the Royalty Cinema, which has Art Deco touches in the white painting and horizontal bands but also feels a bit Edwardian. It was opened in 1927 and so is on the cusp.
