- Cover photo description:
- Hoad Monument proper name: the Sir John Barrow Monument is a 100 ft 30.5 m tower at the top of Hoad Hill 436 ft/133 m, to the north-east of Ulverston in the Furness area of north-west England. Paid for mainly by public subscription, the monument was erected in 1850 at a cost of £1250. It commemorates Sir John Barrow who was born in Ulverston in 1764. Sir John was a founder member of the Royal Geographical Society, and held various government posts in the 19th century becoming the Second Secretary to the Admiralty.nThe monument is not a lighthouse: it has never had a functional light. However, it was designed to resemble one and it is one of the most prominent landmarks in Cumbria.
