More about this scene
The fountain in the foreground was dedicated in 1903 to the former Prime Minister, William Gladstone. Beyond it can be seen Widnes's war memorial which lists 818 men from the town who died in the First World War, the youngest a boy aged only 15. A further 289 names were added after the Second World War. The plinth on which the column stands is 7ft high and the obelisk is 42ft with a sculpted eternal flame at the top.
