Statue Of Ludwig Mond In Front Of Research Lab, Winnington Works

The statue of Ludwig Mond, created in 1912 by E. Lanteri, is located in front of the Research Laboratory at Winnington Works in Northwich. This life-size bronze statue stands on a polished granite plinth. It features Mond with a luxuriant beard and moustache, holding a stick in his right hand and papers behind his back in his left hand. He is dressed in a long heavy overcoat, with a wide floppy-brimmed hat pulled down over his eyes, presenting a formidable yet withdrawn character. The statue is inscribed with "LUDWIG MOND FRS LLD BORN MARCH 7TH 1839 DIED DECEMBER 11 1909: ED LANTERI 1912." It is symmetrically placed in the forecourt of the ICI Research Laboratory alongside the statue of Sir John Brunner.
