Nelson's Monument

Photo Information

On Birchen Edge, Derbyshire, stands Nelson's Monument. It took London 60 years to erect a monument to Nelson after his death in 1805 but this gritstone obelisk was erected in 1810. A short distance away are three large natural rocks shaped like the prows of ships. Each one is carved with the name of a British fighting ship.
