Geocache Description:

A new addition to the 'Historic Leyland' Series started by Team-SK
The Cache is a small container which will hold a couple of small items only.
It is placed at the site of a Centurion Tank. Well worth a look!
Take care when removing and replacing the 'lid' - Please don't overtighten.

Congratulations to Team-SK on their FTF

This Centurion Tank commemorates the Servicemen and Women who have served our country. The tank is mounted on an earth plinth with the barrel pointing towards Preston.
It is hoped that it is the first of a number of ‘gateway’ features around the town, under the theme ‘Made in Leyland’, and proudly represents the town and the workers who built it. Centurion tanks were made in the Spurrier Works in Leyland. The 'tank factory' was opened on 23rd October 1953, during the Korean crisis and is part of of Leyland's famous industrial heritage. For over sixty years the Centurion Main Battle Tank provided the military backbone for numerous armies around the globe, seeing action in wars from Korea and Vietnam, to India and the Gulf.
