Geocache Description:

Small magnetic cache containing just a log. BYOP. Dalton Square can be busy with muggles, particularly on a sunny day which could make this cache harder to grab.

Dalton Square in Lancaster is the home of the Victorian Monument as shown in the photo above. The monument of Queen Victoria was given to Lancaster by Lord Ashton in 1907. It was originally intended for Williamson's Park (also in Lancaster). The sculptor was Herbert Hampton. Queen Victoria and four lions are in bronze. The panels have reliefs of eminent Victorians, including Lancaster-born Richard Owen and Florence Nightingale. The corner pieces represent Truth, Wisdom, Justice and Freedom. Opposite the monument lies Lancaster's Town Hall, currently the home of the council offices. The new Town Hall was designed by E W Mountford, who also designed the Old Bailey in London, and paid for by Lord Ashton. It was opened in December 1909, replacing the old Town Hall in Market Square (now the City Museum). It originally contained police headquarters and courts as well as council offices.
