Description
Darwen War Memorial, Bold Venture Park:
Step into a tranquil summer’s day in Bold Venture Park, a favourite walk for many a family. At its heart stands the Darwen War Memorial overlooking the lake, unveiled in 1921, captured here in soft, luminous watercolour.
The bronze sculpture by Louis Frederick Roslyn features a winged figure of Victory perched on a globe. Around her, bronze reliefs represent Honour (an infantryman), Humanity (a nurse) and Freedom (a seaman). It is a lasting tribute to courage and sacrifice, set in the green calm of the park the town loves.
