Port Sunlight War Memorial. Commissioned from sculptor Goscombe John by Lord Lever while the Great War was in progress. It commemorates the employees of Lever Brothers killed in the war; its bronze statues are amongst the most dynamic and detailed to be seen anywhere. Its detail is breathtaking

I saw the statue of Ada Salter yesterday. ⏬️
A walk, organised by @lselibrary.bsky.social and led by historian Laura Schwarz, took us along the Thames riverside west from Rotherhithe. I didn't think to take a photo. I particularly like the one with Tower Bridge in the background. ⏬️
