I accept Busmans point about vandalism. I was thinking about Darwen tower and how impressive that is from distance. It may be unacceptable we replace the current monument so how can we 'improve it' short of cleaning it up an dleaving it as it is (to be vandalised again!!)

I wondered if we made some sort of a glass/glass like replica much bigger and placed it around restricting access to the original whilst creating a more spectacular monument. Is it possible to make thick enough vandal proof glass like surfaces. I am not so sure you can? Just thinking about ideas so no stupid comments please...
