Although I suppose Peel Park and the Coppice are all in one are they?

And if it makes it more accessible then I guess that would be better and could also be a good branch leading off the original ideas?

I also looked into making the sculptures in the form of Accrington pals training on the Coppice as I heard there are some photos of that flying about somewhere maybe in the library.

I do like the idea of using images/making sculptures of those who value and use the Coppice rather than famous named people as they're are already known and there are always sculptures/memorials for them. Why not have something to say thanks the people who use the area?

What you think??

The Accrington never trained on the Coppice, they did march over it on a couple of occasions, to meet up with the Burnley section.
They did do some training on Moleside, quite a lot on Ellison's Tenement & Hyndburn Park.
There are no photographs flying around somewhere in the Library, all William Turners Collection is sealed, and not available to every Tom, Dick & Harry.
The key to Bills collection is in my pocket, so forget it.
