Walton Memorial Circa 10 Metres South-West Of Town Hall
-
Description
....The monument to William Walton of about 1906 is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons: Architectural interest: * an attractive Art Nouveau design in the form of an obelisk, with intricate decorative detailing; * it displays good-quality materials and craftsmanship in its design, creating a prominent landmark within the former colliery town. Historic interest: * erected by the Dean and Chapter Colliery to recognise the sacrifice of one of its workers in saving other members of the colliery community. Group value: * it benefits from a spatial, historic and functional group value with two other (war) memorials, all three of which are sited in close proximity within the town hall garden.... -
