Tips
A few hundred meters before the Mersey ends its river life (after a 112-kilometer stretch), hikers and walkers encounter a "WAR MEMORIAL" on the New Brighton riverside promenade. In designing it, the artist did not follow the often-used basic types of a cross or obelisk, but opted for a figurative representation: a broad, round column rises above a multi-tiered base. This supports the group of sculptures, which here commemorate the victims of war and tyranny—and thus simultaneously serve as a call for peace. A message that remains ever-relevant today!
