Famous citizens, politicians, royalty, the arts, mythology, migrants, and slavery are represented by statues located throughout the city.

The Earle and the Keyworth families are responsible for most of the public and monumental sculptures to be found in the city.

William Day Keyworth Jr (1843-1902), the son of William Day Keyworth Sr (1817-1897),
studied sculpture in London. By 1892 he and his father are listed in a gazetteer at 54 Savile Street and 244 Spring Bank, as ‘William Day Keyworth and Son, monumental masons and sculptors’. He suffered financial problems in later life and committed suicide on 9 August 1902.
