Rishworth
Sign
A village has a new landmark after a
local business set its generosity in
stone. The new Rishworth name stone,
which occupies pride of place at the
turning circle, Oldham Road, has been
some 12 months in the planning by the
village's Environmental Group.
But
when they discovered it would cost more
than £400 to get the name stone
made, Brian Brooks, of Ripponden stonemason's
BD Brooks, stepped in to sculpt it for
free.
Judith
Crossley, of Rishworth Environmental
Group, said: "We are all delighted
and so many people have been in touch
to say they like it. It's
become a real focal point for the village
and was a very generous gesture."
Flowers
are soon to be planted around the
stone in time for this year's Yorkshire
In Bloom judging.
