Nelson Monument, Bronze monument at Exchange Flags, Liverpool, England
The Nelson Monument features four chained prisoner statues surrounding a circular base with bronze panels depicting naval battles and festoon decorations.
Following Nelson's victory at Trafalgar in 1805, Liverpool City Council initiated a public fund that collected £8,930 for the monument's construction.
The monument displays the inscription 'England expects every man to do his duty' and represents British maritime power through its detailed naval imagery.
Located at coordinates 53.4075795, -2.9920239, the monument stands north of Liverpool Town Hall and measures 29 feet in total height.
During the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest, 2,500 sandbags encircled the monument as an art installation named 'Protect the Beats'.
