The Weir War Memorial is a sombre and moving tribute to the locals who passed away during the First World War. Standing high on the windswept Deerplay Moor, close to the source of the River Irwell, it looks over the village of Weir. It was erected in 1935 and stands at 10 feet (3 m) tall upon a granite plinth.

From a distance, one might mistake it for a typical wayside cross, like the small sacred monuments found in many places. But upon closer inspection, the true significance of this war memorial, which dominates the vast landscape, becomes apparent: to commemorate the many victims claimed by war and tyranny in so many places. Thus, they remain significant today as a constant reminder to maintain peace—despite the significant time gap between then and the present, these memorials lose none of their relevance.
