Wrexham wants Ludgate Circus obelisk. Memorial to "local boy" who made good._x000D_
Negotiations have been practically completed for the removal of the Ludgate Circus obelisk in memory of Robert Waithman (1764-1833) to Wrexham, where he was born. Waithman, linen draper, patriot and reformer, was one of the most famous men that Wrexham has ever produced. He was elected Sheriff of London and Middlesex in 1820 and Lord mayor of London 1823. The obelisk, now worn, tapering edifice of Devonshire granite, was put up in 1832. Its removal would be part of the plan for relieving traffic congestion in the Circus._x000D_
