In 2008 Nuttall Park Stone and Plaque installed, designed by Ramsbottom Heritage Society and the stone provided by Marshall’s Quarry. "Replica Plaque 2008. Lt. Col. Porritt (1875-1956) of The Cliffs and Stubbins Vale Mill was a leading public figure and local benefactor. He believed people had a right to enjoy recreational facilities and open spaces." On 12th July 2008 Andrew Todd, President of the Heritage Society, said a few works of thanks to all and the stone was unveiled by Cllr Peter Ashworth, Mayor of Bury. This was followed by the opening of 'Nuttall Extravaganza', an afternoon of celebration to mark 80 years of the park.
