Not the first picture of this rather imposing obelisk on Geograph, and probably not the last either. It was erected in 1920 as a WWI memorial to the cyclists killed in that war, and updated in 1963 to add a tribute to those of the 2nd World War. Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101389323-cyclists-war-memorial-meriden#.XaM2JuhKjIU & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1389323 in 2001.
