| Description |
The idea of raising a memorial to honour the memory of local dialect writers had been raised in the press on a number of occasions but the suggestions were not taken up until 1896. It was then that the subject was taken up in a more formal way. The scheme for a memorial found support. Extracts from the subscription book show that apart from a small number of £5 donations, the majority were small under £1. The Rochdale architect, Edward Sykes was commissioned to produce the memorial.He presented his design to the memorial committee in July 1899. The memorial was made by MESSRS RAWSON, monumental masons of Bury. The memorial was placed in a central position on The Slopes, a recently landscaped area of Broadfield Park, overlooking the Esplanade and opposite the town’s library. It was unveiled in 1900 by Archdeacon Wilson. pmsa.cch.kcl.ac.uk/MR/MR-ROC03.htm |
