Peel Monument, Monument on Holcombe Hill near Ramsbottom, England
The stone tower rises 128 feet high above Holcombe Hill, featuring mullioned windows and battlements at its base and summit.
The monument, completed in 1852, commemorates Sir Robert Peel, the Prime Minister who established the Metropolitan Police Service and reformed criminal laws.
Local industrialist William Grant arranged the tower's position to align perfectly with St Andrews Church when viewed from his residence at Nuttall Hall.
Visitors can climb 148 steps to reach the observation platform, which provides views extending to Manchester, Cheshire, and North Wales on clear days.
The construction materials came directly from Holcombe Hill itself, with local gritstone quarried on site to build the entire structure.
