Recently Waystone has provided a panoramic viewing facility, in memory of Hilda Burton, overlooking the major development of Xscape and Freeport where members of the Glasshoughton Forum gathered at an opening ceremony. Hilda, former joint chair of the Forum, who died three years ago, worked tirelessly for the regeneration of Glasshoughton and a plaque to mark the occasion was inscribed with the words "orchid on a muck stack". A copy of the plaque, originally created by Harry Malkin, a local artist will be put up in the Glasshoughton centre as a lasting memorial to a great lady.
