Located at the southern end of Woodland Terrace. The inscription on the top of the stone is the word MINERS enclosed by a circle of words showing WILFRED OWEN 1893-1918. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4253471 Underneath is the inscription of Owen's poem Miners. Owen wrote the poem after a mining disaster in January 1918 (though not in South Wales). Wilfred Owen, one of the most famous of the Great War (First World War) poets, was born near Oswestry in 1893. He was killed in action in France on November 4th 1918, one week before the signing of the Armistice (the document which initiated the end of hostilities).
