A stunning 15m monument depicting a First World War soldier has been created at Dandy Brook Park, in Lostock Hall, alongside a peace garden. The memorial has a striking orange ‘rusted’ appearance and a cut-out silhouette of a soldier with head bowed, a large poppy and the word ‘Remember’ inscribed upon it. Written inside, visible to people standing in the peace garden behind the memorial, are the names of the fallen soldiers of South Ribble. The 40ft monument, which also has the dates 1914 and 1918 etched on the side and took 10 weeks to make, was created by DP Structures in Nelson. It was craned into place and welded together onsite in October and was formally opened at a dedication ceremony on Remembrance Day in November 2015.

The memorial and a surrounding peace garden will form part of the greater St Catherine’s Park, due to open to the public in summer 2016. It is a joint project between South Ribble Council and St Catherine’s Hospice.
