The Albert Memorial, located at the junction with Brighouse Road in Queensbury, is a memorial dedicated to Prince Albert, dated 1865. It was designed by Eli Milnes of Bradford for John Foster & Son. The memorial is constructed of ashlar and stands as a tall Gothic structure on a four-step podium. At the base, there are red-granite drinking water fountains, and on two sides, there are well-carved panels depicting foliage, one featuring a swan and the other a heron.

On a third side, a bronze plaque commemorates Prince Albert, stating: "ALBERT PRINCE CONSORT of Her Majesty / Queen Victoria who died December / the 14th AD 1861. / This monument was erected by / John Foster & Son: whitsuntide 1863." Above the base, there are well-carved allegorical figures representing Agriculture, Industry, Literature, and Fine Art, each placed in canopied niches with red-granite colonnettes. The structure features diagonal buttresses that end in tall crocketed pinnacles. At the top, there is an octagonal stage with diaper-work at the base and a central pedestal surrounded by red-granite colonnettes, which support the gable treatment at the base of the tall central spire, topped with a cross finial.
