ALBERT MEMORIAL (n.) Doth dedicated to Her Majesty’s late consort, once constructed the monument was allowed to decline for 150 years, the restoration took as long as the original construction, and much monies.

They said she never got over Albert’s death, but that gloomy memorial wasn’t my idea of a suitable celebration of his life.
Best wishes, Pete.

I have to say it certainly isn’t my favourite monument. Thanks for the comment.
