Mackworth Estate Memorial "Sculpture to Conflict", Derby - Google Street view and Video tour

Mackworth Estate Memorial "Sculpture to Conflict" by artist Peter Maris.

This memorial was consecrated on Saturday 6th October 2018 by Rt Rev's Jan McFarlane, Bishop of Repton and acting Bishop of Derby.

This modern war memorial is located on Prince Charles Avenue, opposite the Coop on the land at the end of the new car park.

Here is a Google Streetview tour I captured on Sunday  7th October 2018 :

The monument cost £18,000 to build and was funded by section 106 contributions from the sale of the former Derby College site and the Radbourne Lane development - rather than taxpayer cash

It was designed with the help of local school children in 2015.

The structure is made from Weathering steel (Core Ten) which is a hard wearing material used in the construction of tanks in WWII, contemporary landscaping and sculptures and memorials such as the “Angel of the North”. Weathering steel (Core-Ten) is low maintenance long lasting and once fully oxidised will colour from golden brown to a deep purple brown over time. The sculpture will also contain a stone carved frieze based on the actual carving workshops from three local schools and their understanding of peace and conflict.

Here is a video tour around the memorial from the Summer 2018 before it was completed.
