Two central female figures linked in friendship are seated on a pedestal inscribed LANCASHIRE / YORKSHIRE – the building straddles the Walsden Water so was situated in both Lancashire and Yorkshire until the county boundary was moved on January 1 1888. To either side are statues representing local traditional jobs: three textile workers, a book keeper, a blacksmith, two corn harvesters and a shepherd. The statuary was restored in 2015.
