On the left is the Grade II Listed https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1068073 war memorial on Chapel Hill Image Crescent Road on the right is the B6170. It would appear that some errant motorist has knocked over the bollard on the corner.

Dukinfield doesn't appear to have a centre, but has a bit of focus here on Crescent Road and another bit down on King Street. The war memorial must be on the highest point of Dukinfield.

This memorial, at Chapel Street, commemorates the residents of Dukinfield who were killed or missing in World War I (460 names) and World War II (81 names). For a list of names, see http://www.carlscam.com/dukinfield/memorial.htm

The War Memorial on Crescent Road, Dukinfield was inaugurated as the town's memorial, in sacred memory of the men of Dukinfield who served and fought for their country in the Great War. It was unveiled on July 30, 1922, by Sir John Wood Bart, M.P. The structure is of renaissance design, and takes the form of a column, 14ft 6ins in height, placed on a foundation comprised of three tiers of solid steps, and surmounted by a cast bronze figure of a soldier, 7ft 6ins high, standing at ease in full fighting kit. The total height is 24ft. Each side of the column is ornamented with laurel wreaths, and on the front is carved the Dukinfield coat of arms in relief. On the front and back of the frieze are cut in solid bold letters: To our Noble Dead, and Men of Dukinfield. Fixed on the four sides of the column are cast bronze panels, 4ft by 2ft 6ins, bearing 460 names of the fallen in raised letters. After the Second World War a further panel, bearing 81 names, was added. For a full list of the names see CarlsCam http://www.carlscam.com/dukinfield/memorial.htm The monument is built entirely of windy way stone, quarried from near the Cat and Fiddle, Macclesfield. Messrs W. Hewitt and Sons, Crescent Road, Dukinfield carried out the work, under the supervision of Mr S. Hague, borough surveyor. The Sculptor and designer of the model was Mr P.G Bentham RBS of London, and the cast bronze figure was executed by the Morris Art Foundry Company, of Clapham.
