Boothen, Stoke-on-Trent: memorial to Timothy Trow

Transcription: "Erected by Public Subscription in grateful memory of Timothy Trow, Tram Conductor, aged 21 years, who lost his life by drowning, near this spot in an heroic attempt to save that of a child. April 13th 1894". One might wonder if this memorial has been resited, since there is no water nearby, but in fact the road here runs alongside the route of the old Newcastle Canal, which was long ago filled in.
