Freckleton Air Disaster Memorial

An oasis of calm

In the hurly burly of modern life this is an oasis of calm where we can reflect and remember those who ensured we have our freedom.

Poignant

Very sad to think of the waste of young lives here, the accident outdoor probably have been avoided but things were different in times of war. Nice little garden.

Very good

Been through frecklton many times but never stopped so we took our dog to be clipped and decided to have a walk round the village and were surprised how nice the village was and the memorial
