The 102 foot Wiberforce monument overlooking Queens Gardens, Hull

The 102 foot Wiberforce monument overlooking Queens Gardens, Hull. The column is 90 feet and the statue on top is 12 feet tall, carved out of hard-wearing millstone grit. The statue was, in fact, an after-thought by the monument committee. It was sculpted by a Mr Feort in Dock Street and erected on the column in November 1835.
The Monument originally stood by Princes Dock for almost 100 years until Queens Dock closed in the 1930s. A new road layout was proposed for Queen Victoria Square area and the monument was making traffic flow very difficult.
In 1935 over four months the Monument was moved to its present location. 24th July 1958
