Crich Stand
at night.
Crich War Memorial stands
955 feet above sea level on Crich Hill, one of the most prominent
hills in Eastern Derbyshire.
It was opened in 1923 as a memorial to the 11,409 Sherwood Foresters
Regiment who died in the First World War,
and is also now a memorial to the 1,520 Sherwood Foresters who
died in the Second World War.
The tower houses a beacon
which can be seen at night in many parts of Eastern Derbyshire
and Western Nottinghamshire.
It is one of the most
familiar landmarks to all natives of Derbyshire.
