- Thanks for the review, Onegreatjoke. Alternatives below:
- ALT1: ... that the Duffield Memorial's "unusual example of Art Nouveau design in metal work" led to its designation, 110 years after erection, as a Listed Building?
- ALT2: ... that the Duffield Memorial, noted for its "unusual example of Art Nouveau design in metal work", was designed by a sculptor at a nearby university?
- ALT3: ... that the Duffield Memorial was termed "quite unique" in 1912, and "unusual" in 2022? --Usernameunique (talk) 00:48, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
