Inskip is a small town approximately half way between Blackpool and Preston. The most obvious thing about Inskip is its huge radio mast with red lights all over them like a giant Christmas tree. However it does have an quite vibrant community and at the heart of the community is St Peter's church, which also has the memorial. The Church is just of the road in the village, but it cannot be missed.
The memorial is white stone, well maintained too. This is the inscription.
The other 3 sides of the memorial have no writing on at all. Have to presume that there were no casualties in the Second World War and subsequent wars.
Feel free to copy any of these photos.
