Airman's Cross to move ahead of Stonehenge project


Not mind-blowing news but a start on altering the landscape of Stonehenge.....

By Hannah White.

A memorial at Airman’s Corner is set to be moved into storage on Monday so that the Stonehenge improvement project can begin.

The army’s Royal Engineers, based in Tidworth, are helping English Heritage to move Airman’s Cross, a Grade II listed memorial located in the middle of the junction at Airman’s Corner, into safe storage at Perham Down barracks.

The move comes ahead of work starting on a new Stonehenge visitor centre, which was granted planning permission by Wiltshire Council two years ago.
