Memorial to US airman
1st Lieutenant Arthur L Brown of the USAAF, while engaged in high-altitude flying to test oxygen equipment, crashed his Thunderbolt on this spot on the banks of the Weaver on 14 January 1944, avoiding Nantwich town centre.

"Here lies 1st Lieutenant/ Arthur L. Brown/ U.S.A.A.F./ aged 23 years/ of New York/ who crashed/ in his Thunderbolt/ to avoid this town/ Jan. 14th 1944/ With sympathy and respect"

Pipe bridge over the River Weaver
The pipe is a water main, running 27km from Peckforton in Cheshire to Coopers Green reservoir in North Staffordshire. The single pipe above ground (and a similar one across the oxbow lake to the east) was seen as a serious risk to security of water supply, so in 2014/15 a £3.5 million tunnel was machine-bored to take the supply underground. But the concrete thrust blocks seen here were renewed as part of that project so presumably this pipe is still in use.
