  Albert Memorial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Albert Memorial is situated in Kensington Gardens, London, England, directly to the north of the Royal Albert Hall.
It was commissioned by Queen Victoria in memory of her beloved husband, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha who died of typhoid in 1861, and designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the Gothic revival style.
The memorial's design and the popularity of the Prince Consort led to several other "Albert Memorials" based on the original in Hyde Park, most notably in the central square of Manchester in front of the town hall, in "Albert Square".

The composition has a large statue of Albert seated in a vast Gothic shrine, and includes a frieze with 169 carved figures, angels and virtues higher up, and separate groups representing the Continents, Industrial Arts and Sciences.
The pillars supporting the canopy are of red granite from the Ross of Mull and from a gray granite from Castle Wellan Quarries, Northern Ireland.
Each pillar took eight men about 20 weeks to finish and polish, and the Albert Memorial was noted at the time of its completion as being one of the most costly works in granite of the period.
