A plaque on the base reads; "This monument is a memorial to Harriet, the first Countess of Ellesmere, who worked tirelessly to improve the lives of working women and children in Walkden. It stood at the crossroads in the centre of Walkden from 1868 to 1968. Restoration was achieved in 2006 by the efforts of the Rotary Club and other local people and supported by Salford City Council."
