That’s a good memorial Brian, without it it would be lost to memory. I assume that this is the location of a mine, Apedale? The last shot is my favourite.

I’ll have to research....I believe it was part of the Silverdale site....which I think my great grandfather worked at. There is another known as Wedgwood nearby ....I need to piece it altogether.

Lovely set Brian, its good to see this counties heritage being remembered, so important in this day and age when we see people trying to destroy it

I agree with the others. It's a nice set. My favourite is the last one.
