Brownhills - Staffordshire

Dear Fionn
This is a photo that I took in (Brownhills) near Cannock over the last few days. What a striking memorial it is!!!
I was simply amazed at it’s (grandeur).
I live in Stoke on Trent which is a large city, and we have nothing like this around here.
Brownhills is only a small town if you’re driving through it in a car (blink your eye) and that’s it.
I must admit I do feel ashamed for our Stoke on Trent city council every time I look at it. Cyril James
