Description
The Travellers' Rest is a stone seat for travelling migrants, dating from around 1860 and designed by James Kendrick. It is made of red sandstone and is set in concrete within a small enclosure on the traffic island at Lower Walton, overlooked by number 33 Chester Road.
The seat measures 63 inches in length, 22 inches in depth, and 16 inches in height. It features a slightly domed center to help shed water, spanning a width of 39 inches. At both ends, the seat steps down by 6 inches to a lower section that is 12 inches wide and 10 inches high. The vertical face of the upper step is inscribed with the words "TRAVELLERS’ REST."
