Albert Sq
Acting as the entrance to Manchester town hall, Albert Square pays tribute to one of Greater Manchester's architect
Albert Square has a series of monumental statues, including the Albert Memorial, an earlier and smaller inspiration for the London one.
Constructed by the Manchester architect Thomas Worthington, it dates from 1862-67 and the figure of Albert is by Mathew Noble.
The other statues in the square, like Albert all face towards the Town Hall. These include Oliver Heywood by Theed, Gladstone by Raggi and a stone John Bright by A. Bruce Joy.
