The monument was carved in wood by Kerry Morrison and installed in Granby Row on the campus of Manchester University in 1992. The street is the site of the factory where the first batch of the soft drink Vimto was made by John Noel Nichols in 1908. The monument was restored in 2011. On the viaduct in the background a train can be seen travelling between Manchester Oxford Road and Piccadilly stations. https://www.manchester.ac.uk/discover/news/famous-vimto-monument-gets-a-makeover/
