Memorial to John Kay

William Venn Gough's 1908 Memorial to John Kay (sculpture by John Cassidy) in Bury town centre. Planning began after a 1903 Bury public meeting launched a public subscription. 19th century efforts to acknowledge Kay achieved little, but by 1903 it was felt that Bury "owed John Kay's memory an atonement", and that all Bury should contribute in restitution to "that wonderfully ingenious and martyred man".
