Peel Memorial, Bronze statue in Market Place, Bury, England.
The 3.5-meter bronze statue depicts Sir Robert Peel in formal attire, standing on a 3.66-meter granite pedestal with the family coat of arms.
The memorial was unveiled on September 8, 1852, following a public fundraising campaign that collected £2,700 from 2,000 contributors after Peel's death in 1850.
Edward Hodges Baily created this bronze sculpture using an innovative single-piece casting technique at Robinson and Cottam's foundry in London.
The statue maintains its position in Market Place, with detailed bas-reliefs on its sides representing Commerce and Navigation themes.
The buttons on Peel's clothing were accidentally positioned on the opposite side, contrary to traditional men's clothing arrangements.
