This memorial was completed in 1876 in memory of Prince Albert, the late husband of Queen Victoria (the man who called her "Vicky")
At each corner are four bronze statues depicting some of Prince Albert's interests: engineering, agriculture, commerce and manufacturing. At the bottom of the steps leading to Prince Albert's statue are four more sculpture groups representing Europe, Africa, America and Asia.
The frieze below the statue contains sculptures of famous people such Pythagoras and Chaucer
