Description:A postcard view of the Jubilee Stone in Rudyard which was erected in 1897 to mark Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.

Quarried from a large split block of gritstone, the Jubilee Stone serves as the village War Memorial and commemorates The Boer War, World War One and World War Two, as well as the coronations of various monarchs. It stands at the corner of Lake Road and Camrose Hill. In the centre a roadman looks towards the photographer. All of the houses on the right remain (October 2023).

Published by the Scottish photographer William Sandeman who was based in Rudyard from around 1896 until the 1930s.
