Built as a viewing platform in 1858, it would have given fine views of the various industrial sites of the Butterley Company. William Jessop was one of the founders of the Butterley Company. The area in which it stands was dedicated as a park for the Company's employees but is now private land. The monument is only photographable from Monument Lane during the winter months. Listed Grade II.
