About
This bronze statue of Abraham Lincoln stands in a quiet square near Manchester Piccadilly, commemorating the city’s historical ties to the American Civil War. The seated figure, hands resting on a plinth, draws visitors interested in its backstory, detailed on an accompanying plaque. The space serves as a resting spot with benches, and the statue has become a reference point for local history walks, including those marking Africa Day. Skaters occasionally use the surrounding ledges. Though not a major attraction, it’s a notable landmark for those exploring Manchester’s civic history.
Customer Reviews
It was a quiet place with less tourist and corners occupied with homeless people. It’s more of a space with statue rather than some attraction point. You can visit it if you’re in Manchester Piccadilly.
Great to see a statue of the big man with hands! The story behind it's erection is very interesting and deserves a read of the plaque.
A great statue that is a fitting tribute to a great man. Well worth a visit if you're in the area. 🙏👍
