Overlooking Peel Park a cluster Bronze Statues of Accrington Stanley Players striking out towards Goal. Looking out towards the old Drill Hall a group of Pals before the tragedy looking proud and full of vigour, (it was all suppose to be over before Christmas) On the Top of the coppice over looking the town a Replica of the Pals Memorial in Sheffield Memorial Park. And on, Cotton, Chemicals, Dark Mills, Water, we have it all. The story of Hyndburn fixed within the Landscape Known to all of us.

Well I've read your post Doug, but I have a problem with the idea, firstly how would the people who are more likely to be interested in such a project, the elderly (and disabled elderly at that) access the area, the top of the coppice ain't really the easiest place to get to when your getting on in life, such a project would be much more viable in one of the parks not stuck on the top of a hill, just my thoughts on the matter
