Lytham St Annes Memorial home.

This mini estate was built in 1950. I have driven and cycled past so many times! I didn't know there was an inscription on the wall until it was pointed out to me! This at the junction of Church road and Smithy lane
Here are the photos and a transcription of the inscription.

Waiting at the bus stop.
The road to the right goes to Lytham via Ansdell.
To the left heads up Church road in a general
St Annes, Blackpool direction.
