In 1904, the graveyard surrounding Bingley All Saints Parish Church was bisected by the building of a new road.
During this construction many graves were moved and the gravestones were used as flags to line the pathways around the church.
It was during this period of reconstruction that John Nicholson's gravestone was destroyed.
His first wife's gravestone is located in the western part of the churchyard just south west of the main entrance into the church.

A play was written about the poet and first performed in 1993 in Salts Mill just metres from where the poet died.
Poetry or Bust written by Tony Harrison is a tragi-comic tale that relates the life and sad death of the Airedale Poet.
Tony Harrison has a bust of John Nicholson in his house.

A plinth commemorating the poet was installed at the Prince of Wales Park, Bingley, in 1870.
The plinth was funded by public donation.
