The Market Cross in Alston, Cumbria.
The Market Cross in Alston, Cumbria, which at about 1,000 ft (300m) above sea level shares the title of "the highest market town in England" with Buxton in Derbyshire. The market cross, which acts as a focal point in the centre of town, was constructed in 1981 to replace one which was demolished by a wagon in January 1980. That earlier cross had itself replaced a cross of 1883 which was knocked down by a lorry in 1968.
