Re: The Peel Monument

It needs new foundations, and the very least the base stone re-laying, they've sunk, becuase the ground around it has been eroded. there's no pointing, on the base stones. It's covered with paint. Now I don't know if you realise it but stone is not smooth, spray paint gets into every tiny crack,so unless it was covered with mould, you've got no chance of just scrubbing the paint off.

You also need some decent paths up there.

As has been said elsewhere, as part of your panoptican, you should maybe make the existing monument your panoptican with it being raised higher, uplit, with lit paths leading to it, and a total revamp of the shelter.


I didn't realise that was a peel monument as well as the one at ramsbottom.

You do realise that tamworth here, has connections with peel don't you? I've just bought some sir robert peel first day stamp covers off ebay, that are franked in tamworth
