Photos of Crich in Derbyshire, England. Crich is located in Derbyshire East of Whatstandwell and is most famous for its trams. The national tramway museum website can be viewed HERE For a wide view location map of the area click HERE The Memorial Tower "The Regimental Memorial of the Sherwood Foresters" at Crich in Derbyshire was built on the site of a signal beacon. It is also known as Crich Stand. It was originally dedicated to the fallen of World War 1, but further wars have meant that further plaques have been added to commemorate the fallen to date. The
Memorial Tower was designed by Lieut-Colonel A.W. Brewill. Unfortunately
Lieut-Colonel Brewill died before the work on the tower was completed
in 1923. However the supervision of the building was carried out by his
son Captain L.C. Brewill. The
memorial is open to visitors every day, The bright light at the top of
it can be seen for miles around. On the day I visited here it was £1
for the car park and 20p to go up the tower, well worth it as you get
a great view from the top! |
