Wellington

 

Location:  Prince Edward County     N 43.95176   W -77.34783

On the south side of Main Street (County Road 33), at the entrance to Wellington Park.

This memorial was erected in 1930 by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 160.  It was re-dedicated in 1986 with a new plaque.  The memorial acts as the entrance to Wellington Park, which grants public access to the shore of Lake Ontario.  The Wellington Cenotaph is composed of two stone wing walls with benches, each leading to a pillar. On top of both pillars are three wooden rifles arranged in a tripod configuration and topped by a First World War era British helmet.
