More about this scene
The main entrance is on the right, and the Lunatic Asylum entrance on the left. At the front of our picture is the monument to the Duke of Wellington that was unveiled on 30 August 1856. After the Duke died in 1852, £7,000 was soon raised for Manchester's lasting tribute. Matthew Noble was the sculptor; there are four figures round the plinth representing Minerva (Wisdom), Mars (Valour), Victory and Peace.
