New Postcard added to website

A new postcard has been added to the Crown Close page, in the around Alton section of the website.

When the Great War (World War 1) ended, communities up and down the country looked to commemorate those that had made the ultimate sacrifice. In Alton that resulted in the addition of a 4.5 metre Cornish granite Cairn to Crown Close, which was unveiled by the Earl of Selborne on the 19th of September 1920.

It is worth remembering though that the memorial is in fact Crown Close and the two buildings either side of it (the Assembly Rooms and Curtis Museum) with the Cairn standing between them.

We Will Remember Them.
