A new memorial in Oldham will mark those who lost their lives in the pandemic
A new memorial space has opened in Oldham to honour those who lost their lives during the Covid-19 pandemic. Five years after the virus resulted in almost 600,000 deaths across the UK, the new Covid Memorial Garden in Alexandra Park now offers an area to ‘sit and reflect’. The garden includes a memorial boulder and bench between the bowling green and conservatory at the Grade II listed park.
We lost family members and we lost our neighbours, and history has documented that many of us didn't have the opportunity to say goodbye. 'Some are still suffering because they couldn't see their loved ones before leaving this world. 'Here at the Covid Memorial Garden here we can sit, reflect and think about how we can change the world and learn from our experiences, so please do come and visit the Covid Memorial Garden.
