If the Queen could see it now
If the Queen could see it now
The plaque records the planting of a sycamore by Her Majesty The Queen on the occasion of her visit to view Operation Clean Up on 16th May 1968.

The triangle of land at the junction of Werneth Low Road and Cowlishaw Road was given to Bredbury & Romily UDC by Walter Mansfield.

The site affords wide views across the north and east of Greater Manchester.

Alas many of the people who gather here dump their rubbish rather than taking it home for disposal.
