Birkenshaw Village Association has a facebook group so I have just sent them a message to see if anyone knows where the war memorial from Birkenshaw Bottoms is.

Hello Heatherjulie
I spoke to the estate agents
Today 8/03/2017
RE: War Memorial
I was informed the "Trustees"
Have the Memorial
And that the estate agent
Could not give me any information about the "Trustees"
But would give the "Trustees"
My number so they could
Phone me if they wished.
