I was in Hull for work and toured the compact city on foot. I noticed an imposing plinth topped with a figure. It reminded me of a notable statue in Rome, and I wondered who could have been afforded this honor - a King or Queen perhaps? To my amazement, the 100 ft plinth and statue were raised to Hull’s favored son, Wilberforce, a leader in efforts to abolish slavery in the 19th century.

This is a very tall Monument to the famous abolitionist. There isn't much information about him at the Monument, but it is only a short walk to the free museum at Wilberforce House if you want to learn about him. It is right by University buildings so it may be busy during term times.
