As I sat on the monument last Sunday in the beautiful sunshine, I twice witnessed an age old tradition which proved to me why I would detest a panopticon up there
Mum and Dad with small child on its first visit to the top of the Coppice. Excitedly the child dashes ahead, clambers as far as possible up the monument, then the parent places the child on top of the monument so the child is on the highest point in town. My dad did it with me and I`ve asked around and it seems to be most peoples first memory at the top of the Coppice. Mid Pennine Arts.... they havn`t got the imagination of a three year old child.
