Wilberforce Monument, Grade II listed monument in Kingston upon Hull, England.
The Wilberforce Monument features a Doric column topped with a statue, standing prominently in front of Hull College against the urban backdrop.
The monument construction started in 1834 to honor William Wilberforce, who spent 45 years as a Member of Parliament fighting against the slave trade.
The structure represents a focal point for education about the abolition movement, with regular visits from schools and historical societies throughout the year.
Visitors can reach the monument via public transportation, with several bus stops within walking distance and parking facilities near Hull College.
During its relocation in 1935, workers placed a time capsule containing period coins, newspapers, and documents about the moving process within the structure.
