A quarter circle shaped tablet standing on a two-stepped sandstone base with a small surround of the same stone blocks. The curved shape of the sculpture is derived from the prow of HMS 'Victory' and the reliefs on the faces are in three horizontal bands showing the area's industrial and railway heritage on one side and its agricultural heritage and terraced housing on the other. The straight side bear's Nelson's name in low relief.
