Written By Edgeland Observer

The Tyldesley Monument marks the spot where Sir Thomas Tyldesley fell whilst fighting for the Royalists at the Battle of Wigan Lane on 25 August 1651. Originally erected in 1679, the monument now stands in an enclosure at the junction of Wigan Lane and Monument Road. SOURCE adapted.

You can’t really park nearby but if you get out quick and then go you are alright. Or, you could walk up from the town.

Go HERE to see an extremely detailed piece about the Monument and HERE to read about its Grade II listing.
