Bag-The Pots and Pans Memorial

An easy to store cotton bag (open size 16" x 15") unique to the museum showing one of the most iconic Saddleworth views. The Pots and Pans Memorial.

After the First World War the villages that make up the district of Saddleworth wanted to find a way collectively to make a memorial. Eventually they decided to build a memorial on top of Pots and Pans Hill. It is this spot that can be seen from most of the villages. It was finished in 1923 and the bronze plaques show the names that died in the war, a plaque for each village community. The plaques around it do face approximately the direction of the corresponding village too.

The view depicted is also replicated in our "Notebook & Pen & Keyring combo set 1"  currently on offer at £10.
