DescriptionEddie Cochran Memorial, Rowden Hil, Chippenham - May 2021.jpg
English: On Saturday, April 16th 1960, at around 11:50 pm, while returning to London from a concert at the Bristol Hippodrome, Eddie Cochran was involved in a traffic accident when the driver of the taxi in which he was travelling, lost control on Rowden Hill, Chippenham. He was thrown from the vehicle, suffering a head injury from which he died the following afternoon at St Martin's Hospital in Bath. He was 21-years old. In 2018, this memorial replaced an earlier plaque at the location of the accident. Gene Vincent, songwriter Sharon Sheeley, tour manager Patrick Tompkins, and the taxi driver George Martin, all survived the crash.
