See description below. This one is in High Street, situated next to the Waxhouse Gate, and covers French Row, George Street, London Road, Marlborough Road, New Kent Road, Romeland and Westbourne Terrace. It was designed by Sir Edgar Wigram (who was also responsible for the City World War I Memorial at the top of St Peter's Street - see Image) and dedicated in April 1921. It was unique among the ten by being placed on the wall of a business, rather than residential, property. For context alongside Waxhouse Gate, see Image and a wider view see Image
