Commemorate Horwich Loco Works War Dead
Please support our campaign to Commemorate & Honour all the former employees of the Locomotive Works who fought and died in both World Wars by naming each and every Road on the new Rivington Chase development after our fallen heroes.
Why is this important?
A fitting tribute to our fallen heroes.
As we look to remember and pay tribute to those who died serving our country an opportunity may have arisen to honor those closer to home once again.
The Horwich Loco Works housing development (Rivington Chase) has now commenced and we at Horwich First would like to appeal to the developers (Bluemantle) to commemorate and honor all the former employees of the Locomotive Works who fought and died in both World Wars by naming each and every Street, Road, Close, Way and Avenue after our fallen heroes.
122 Former Loco Work employees names are etched into the war memorial that stands at the front of the Loco Works. This has stood as a fitting and lasting tribute for nearly 100 years. We feel it would be a wonderful gesture to see a continuation of this connection between those ex employees and the place they once worked, creating a lasting memorial between both our existing community and those that will shortly arrive to take up residence on the former Loco Works site.
If you would like to support this appeal please sign our petition and share with family and friends.
To the everlasting memory of our glorious dead, lest we forget.
