The nine foot high bronze statue on a seven foot high granite plinth was originally placed at Ward’s End in Horton Street and unveiled by Sir Francis Crossley on September 17th 1864. It caused some controversy as people claimed that renowned sculptor Thomas Thornycroft had got the horse’s legs wrong and a rumour went around that he'd committed suicide on realizing his mistake. The simple truth is that the unusual pose portrays Prince Albert and his horse Nimrod 'ambling', a type of trot favoured by the pair, and Thornycroft eventually died at the age of seventy, twenty one years after completing the statue. Albert and Nimrod were moved to their current location in June 1900 because of increased road traffic at Ward’s End. Information from Paul Glazzard. Today the building to the right of the statue is the bus depot.",,,"Pennine Horizons Digital Archive",,,"PHDA - Dave Pearson Collection","Pennine Horizons Digital Archive","TIFF file 8-bit","English (U.K.)","Documentary photograph",DPC00349.tif,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Albert Memorial,Albert Park,Albert Statue,Halifax,Huddersfield road,Parks,Prince Albert",https://penninehorizons.org/files/original/808507bc89cd26989789be96902db85f.jpg,"Still Image","Dave Pearson",1,0
