Lived in Liverpool most of my life, decide to go and visit the Nelson monument again, haven't seen it in years, it is quite imposing, must have cost an absolute fortune back in it's day, I personally think these statues should stand, people can do their own research about history
A must visit ! In 1805, Liverpool City Council resolved to commemorate Nelson's victory at the Battle of Trafalgar by erecting a monument and voted to pay £1,000 towards its design and construction. A public subscription fund was launched and within two months a total of £8,930 equivalent to £770,000 in 2021[1] had been reached; this included £750 from the underwriters at Lloyd's and £500 from the West India Association. It was agreed that the monument should be located in a prominent site near the Exchange. A competition for its design was arranged, and this was won by Matthew Cotes Wyatt, son of James Wyatt, the contract being signed in 1809. Matthew Wyatt was relatively inexperienced, and was assisted by Richard Westmacott.[a] The first stone was laid on 15 July 1812, and the monument was unveiled on 21 October 1813, the eighth anniversary of Nelson's death. In 1866 the monument was moved to its present site in Exchange Flags to allow for an extension to the Exchange Buildings, and the Westmorland stone base was replaced by one in granite.[2]
Nice monument hidden away in a courtyard. Needs better signposting
Great to see the various structures of light and its free. Well worth it.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
I only stumbled across this monument, but it struck me somehow. Definitely worth a detour if you're passing.
Monument to Horatio Nelson, commemorating his four major naval victories. There’s a lot of allegory in this monument. It really needs a board nearby explaining it. Considering the prominent position, it doesn’t really have the prominence you’d expect. The base doubles up as a vent for the car park below. Situated in an interesting square with a couple of restaurants. The tapas place is decent.
What a shame that this lovely monument is almost hidden away. It really is so much better in the flesh, good as it looks on the pictures they don't do it justice.
Loved the sculptures representing Britannia and VictoryVisited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
