History
2006: The memorial was on display in the White Hart Inn from the First World War until the board fell into disrepair c1980s and was kept in the cellar. The publican tried to sell the board in the 1980s but was unsuccessful and, on the suggestion of a local resident, gave the board to Oldham Museum. The Old White Hart Pub closed in 1999.
