Posh Pillar and Her Daughters arrive at Wincobank Hill

The Posh Pillars are now standing elegantly at the Jenkin Road entrance to Wincobank Hill. The main pillar shows a poem by local girl, Bryn Wainwright, aged 9 years old, and sculpture by Brian Fell. Two others show text by poet Ebenezer Elliott 'The Ranter' and a memorial to Mary Ann Rawson, Wincobank Hall resident and anti-slavery campaigner, with sculpture by Owen Cunningham.

Location: Entrance to Wincobank Hill, Jenkin Road

Dr Doonan at The Old Chapel

9/12/09 
We were invited to attend the Friends of Wincobank Hill AGM at The Old Chapel, to present our proposals for the area. We got to hear a very interesting talk from Dr Roger Doonan on the archaeology of the Hill Fort and Roman Ridge. We plan to talk to the Friends again at their next meeting in January to discuss our ideas in more detail and gather material for designing the text and objects to be incorporated.
