Two Lads Rebuilt: Ancient Stones Return

from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

The legendary “Two Lads” stone landmarks on the moors are being dismantled and rebuilt to their original beehive shape, preserving their historic charm while ensuring safety. Owned by the Woodland Trust, the unstable structures—now fenced off for public safety—are set for deconstruction between July 15–31, followed by a community dig in early August. Rebuilding begins in August and runs through October, using hidden cement for stability and a traditional drystone wall, with local volunteers and experts helping. Funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the project honors the site’s legacy while keeping the iconic pair intact in their last known positions.
