It's the Cheshire landmark built to commemorate the Battle of Waterloo. And in more recent times, the White Nancy has been used to pay tribute to the victims of the Manchester Arena terror attack and The Fall frontman Mark E. Smith.
Sitting on top of Kerridge Hill, overlooking the village of Bollington, the White Nancy is a grade II listed structure. But despite the stunning panoramic views that its location provides, perhaps its main draw is the intrigue it creates in everyone that visits.
Many visitors are left wondering what it actually is, and why it was put there in the first place. White Nancy was built in 1817 by John Gaskell junior of North End Farm to commemorate Wellington’s victory at the Battle Of Waterloo. John Gaskell was a member of the Gaskell family who lived nearby at Ingersley Hall, CheshireLive reports.
