PPB MB 1897
Fine terracotta over the entrance to West Park Museum, Macclesfield. The profile sculpture of Queen Victoria marks her Diamond Jubilee in 1897. The lettering represents the initials of Marianne Brocklehurst and her brother, Peter Pownall Brocklehurst who donated the museum "for the education, refinement and pleasure of the people for all time to come." The building was opened on the 3rd of October 1898.
