War Memorial at Breightmet

The memorial was originally in the yard of Breightmet United Reformed Church in Bury Road, Bolton. When that church closed in the 1990s the memorial was removed to Astley Bridge British Legion Club for safe keeping. The memorial has now been returned to Breightmet and stands in the grounds of Red Lane United Reformed Church in Newby Road. The memorial was re-dedicated in a ceremony carried out on Sunday 21st April 2013. The memorial seems to be missing an original top piece - perhaps a cross - but whether that is the case or not I do not know.
