- **Event Name**: Swythamley Historical Society Talk - The Nicholson War Memorial
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 13 Nov, 2025 at 07:30 pm
- **Event Description**: It’s 80 years since the end of World War 2, which we've been commemorating this year. But did you know 2025 also saw the 100th anniversary of the dedication of the Nicholson War Memorial, that tall monument at the end of Derby Street in Leek? At 90 feet it is one of the tallest war memorials in country.

Sir Arthur Nicholson, the Leek mill owner and silk manufacturer, originally commissioned it in memory of his son, Basil, who had been killed at the Battle of Ypres in 1915, and of all those other local men who had died in WW1. The names of the men and women who perished in WW2 were also added after that conflict. 

John White, chair of Leek & District Historical Society, will be coming to Swythamley on Thursday 13 November to tell us the background and history of this impressive local monument and the area around it.  The talk will start at 7.30 pm and entry costs £4.
