St John’s Gardens (26)

St John's Gardens is a memorial park in Liverpool, England, located behind St George's Hall. It takes its name from St John's Church which stood on the site from 1783 until 1887. The terraced gardens, laid out by Thomas Shelmerdine, the City Surveyor, opened in 1904. It is part of the William Brown Street conservation area.

The garden has been characterized as "Liverpool's al fresco Valhalla". Unlike most sculpture gardens designed for public enjoyment, this one actually was designed as a setting to display public art[1]. The monuments display the work of eminent sculptors of the late-Victorian/Edwardian era. They commemorate the Liverpool reformers who addressed some of the most pressing social problems of the nineteenth century. The most notable of these, perhaps, was William Gladstone, while others commemorate people known for their personal philanthropic works and social improvement projects.

(source: wikipedia.org) The Wellington Memorial (27)

Designed by George Anderson Lawton of Glasgow and built between 1874-75, it stands 40m (132 ft) high. It was built to commemorate the victories of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington who won many battles during the Napoleonic Wars.

The bronze figure of Wellington is perched on a fluted Doric sandstone column which in turn rests on a raised sandstone plinth. The four sides of the plinth contain sculpted reliefs including a list of Wellington's famous victories (Talevera, Vitoria, Badajoz and Waterloo), and a depiction of the grand charge at the battle of Waterloo.

The statue of the Duke was cast from metal salvaged from French cannons captured at Waterloo. The statue is unusual in that it does not face any major civic building or thoroughfare (such as Nelson's Column in London). The statue was positioned facing south-east so that Wellington would always be looking towards the site of Waterloo - considered his greatest victory.

During World War II, the gable was damaged and was later rebuilt in the late 1940s. It is a Grade II* listed building.

Due to its distinctive brickwork, it is locally known as the "streaky bacon" building.
