captain crozier monument

Bannbridge town's most famous son was probably Captain Crozier of North West Passage fame who was born in 1796 at a large house in the town's Church Square. Crozier lead many exploratory trips to the North and South Pole.
Today the house looks out onto the Crozier Monument which has a unique feature at its base - four polar bears who look up at a statue of Captain Crozier whose gaze is to the North West.
