Memorial at High Spen
An unusual memorial outside the primary school at High Spen. It commemorates two solders awarded VCs in WW1 - William Dobson and Thomas Young. There are blue plaques on the nearby wall.
The monument consists of a rusted iron panel cut with the shape of a soldier in battle dress beyond which is a stone slab inscribed with the names of the two soldiers. A short length of rail track connects the iron and stone as if the first is a mine entrance; both soldiers were coal miners and both survived the war.
