An unusual memorial beside the A941 This shows the inscription on the memorial shown in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6214258">NJ3729 : An unusual memorial beside the A941</a>. Why is it unusual? Well, here we have some public expenditure and at the end there is a surplus. I would think, almost unique. (Of course in these more enlightened times it would be impossible: the money would just vanish back to the Treasury.)
