Over the past thirty odd years, the British Nuclear Community has been involved in the siting of numerous memorials. From the main memorial in the National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas through to the dedicated carved table at The Don – War Memorial Bar in Stockton-on-Tees these memorials span the country.
The NCCF Remembrance project has been established to refurbish and re-dedicate all our memorials: ones created by independent members of the community and those funded by the old BNTVA. We will link them together in a virtual museum preserving and sharing the heritage of our Nuclear Community.
We know where many of the memorials are located but believe there may also be a number of smaller memorials dotted across the country. Our first task is to locate and survey them all to produce the program of refurbishment.
This is where you come in…
We would like you to visit any Nuclear Test memorial you know about, take some pictures and let us know where it is.
The easiest way of doing this it to take a younger family member equipped with a smart phone. They can take the pictures and also using Google Maps they can pinpoint exactly where the memorial is.
