Jbilee Tower, Darwen Moor, Lancashire, England

Local landmark near Blackburn/Darwen.
The octagonal Jubilee Tower (generally called Darwen Tower) at grid reference SD678215 on Darwen Hill overlooking the town of Darwen in Lancashire, England, was completed in 1898 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee and also to celebrate the victory of the local people for the right to access the moor. It was opened to the public on 24 September 1898.

85 feet (25.9 m) in height, walkers can climb to the top via the internal staircase to admire the views of North Yorkshire, Morecambe Bay, Blackpool Tower, Cumbria, the Isle of Man, North Wales, Derbyshire, elsewhere in Lancashire, and surrounding moorland.

    Took it last winter.
    Should I post only recent pictures?
    Not sure what the protocol is round here:-))
    The tower ( Jubilee not Jbilee) is on a high point so would need to go a good distance away to look it in the eye so to speak. I'll post one from an adjacent hill soon.
    Cheers

    Good low view point to give the size of the monument and its info. Recent photo or not looking at the snow covering :-)) Harold
