On 28 April 2011, a memorial plaque for Hughes was unveiled at North Tawton by his widow Carol Hughes.[42] At Lumb Bridge near Pecket WellCalderdale is a plaque, installed by The Elmet Trust, commemorating Hughes's poem "Six Young Men", which was inspired by an old photograph of six young men taken at that spot. The photograph, taken just before the First World War, was of six young men who were all soon to lose their lives in the war.[65]
