Description
The Brierley Statue, located in Queens Park to the west of the park entrance, was created in 1898. It is made of stone and was designed by John Cassidy to honor Benjamin Brierley, who lived from 1825 to 1896. Brierley was a former handloom weaver, a member of the City Council, a founder of the Manchester Literary Club, and an author of many books. Currently, the stone plinth remains in place, while the statue itself is in storage awaiting restoration.
