More about this scene
When his second wife Jessie died, Lord Ashton, son of James Williamson, decided to erect a monument to her. The Taj-Mahal of Lancaster, it rises 220ft to dominate the highest spot over the city; its green copper domed roof stands out for miles. Work started in 1907, and the monument was complete in 1909. The Memorial fell into disrepair in the 1970s; restoration work started in 1984, and the Memorial re-opened to the public on 22 May 1987.
