A new memorial, unveiled in 2010, 92 years after the end of the First World War (see Tameside press release http://public.tameside.gov.uk/pressreleases/f1030pressreleasestory107.asp?story=5310&keyword= ). The black granite obelisk is about 5 ft tall, it stands on Stamford Street, close to St Gabriel’s Church and was first used on Remembrance Sunday (November 14) 2010. At the top of the obelisk, there is the inscription (in gold lettering) “In proud memory of the men and women who gave their lives at the call of their country in the two world wars and in the years since 1945. We will remember them.” At the bottom of the monument, two poppy sprays are engraved in white. (See also: Image])
