Wroxeter

 

Location:  Huron County     N 43 52.429   W 81 08.357
In the Wroxeter Cemetery, 43172 Harriston Road, east of the village.
 
This memorial was erected to honour those from the community who died in the Great War.  The black granite shaft has the names of the brave men forever engraved in the stone.  Wroxeter is an interesting place to visit.  One hundred years ago the village was a growing concern with several hotels, industries, stores and a railway.  The unique layout of the downtown are is very picturesque.  Nowadays the town is much smaller, most of the businesses left along with the railway.  The population is now around half of what it was during the glory days.
I apologize for the poor quality photos.
