The Reform Tower

Also known as ‘The Stanton Tower’ and ‘Earl Grey Memorial Tower’.

The tower was erected following the passing of the Representation of the People Act in 1832 – which ‘threw a spanner in the works’ of representational democracy in Parliament.

Duke of York Stone

Another in my Peak District series – to one side of the stone a Crown above a capital Y and the date 1826 has been carved into the face – the exact significance of which is still a mystery to me.
More recently somebody has used painted the letters “DUPED” with black paint – again, I’m afraid the significance of this is lost on me.
