Description
The statue of James Stuart, who lived from 1836 to 1922, is located 20 metres southeast of No. 1 Village Road in Kingston upon Hull. Erected in 1924 by his friend Thomas Ferens, the statue commemorates Stuart's contributions as a seed crusher, local Liberal politician, and Justice of the Peace. The sculptor of the statue is William Aumonier.
The statue is made of Portland stone and depicts a life-size standing figure of Stuart in an oratorical pose. It is mounted on a square pedestal that features enriched chamfered corners and an inscribed tablet on the front. The square base has a cornice and four diagonal buttresses that are topped with volutes.
James Stuart was instrumental in promoting the Hull and Barnsley railway, which opened in 1885, and served as a director of British Oil and Cake Mills (BOCM).
