Originally this dominating public sculpture of a seated figure carved from white Italian Carrera marble (weighing approximately 14 tons) stood outside the Town Hall. It depicts the founder of Saltaire and the principal rival mill owner to S. C. Lister and Isaac Holden. The monument is a simplified and scaled down version of the Albert Memorial and the seated marble statue is under an ornately carved sandstone Gothic canopy on clustered polished granite drafts. There are statuettes in niches above the shafts and a tall, stepped granite plinth.
