E-mail: Contact 		I agree with my old school friend Vernon Turner that being able to visit the Memorial would be an interesting exercise (in all senses!). I understand the Health and Safety aspects having worked in the tourism industry for a local authority. Is it a problem with safety barriers on the stairs? Usually a community-minded H&S officer can suggest solutions if it is thought the principle of opening to the public is important.

With a number of Nicholson connections locally - the Institute being only one - I suggest that a Nicholson Day with a talk or two in the Institute's excellent art gallery and a tour of places including the Memorial could be a winner.

Keep up the good work.

Regards
Alan Machin

 An excellent website and fitting and moving tribute to the men and women who fought for king and country and gave up their lives so the rest of us can live in peace.
Well done Rob, John and Chris this really enhances the Nicholson War Memorial for prosperity.

E-mail: Contact 		Thank you and congratulations for this excellent and informative website. I was born in Leek in 1943 and lived there for 22 years. Often was the time that I wondered what was inside the memorial! Now I know through your gallery pictures. I have submitted a photograph of me with the Monument in the background taken around 1947. I believe I was standing in the area of the old cattle market now bus station. Have the Friends considered allowing visits by appointment to the interior of the memorial? I would certainly be willing to make a donation for such a privilege. Thank you again. Vernon Turner.

Admin reply: Hi Vernon,

Thanks for your comments (and picture).

We are looking into public access inside the memorial on certain days. We have the dreaded Health and Safety to overcome, but hopefully nothing insurmountable.

Regards,

Rob.
