Edward VII Monument, Liverpool Pier Head


The bronze equestrian statue of King Edward VII on a tall rectangular stone pedestal occupies is strategically located in the middle of the central axis between the Cunard Building and the River Mersey. The statue, by Sir William Goscombe John, was commissioned following the death of the king in 1910 and was originally intended to be located outside the south entrance to St. George's Hall. 
However, after much wrangling it was decided that it should be placed in its current location and the sculpture was unveiled in 1921, almost 11 years after being commissioned.
