Summary[edit]

Description
English: Stone Cross near World's End. I have enquired around about this cross but can find nothing. It could be just a visitor's folly, a memorial of some kind?

The following information is from a Wrecsam BC "walk" brochure, and was given to me by Ray Williamson.

STONE CROSS MEMORIAL

The stone cross that marks the scene of a WW2 plane crash (a Bristol Beaufighter with a Polish pilot). War records show, only too clearly, the grim death toll of young inexperienced pilots on this mountain, with four Spitfires and nine other crashes. Allied wartime activity on the mountain included building the World’s End - Minera road by American servicemen and the installation of searchlights.
