About the memorial: A carved stone statue on a stone pedestal at the centre of a concave stone bay. The statue depicts Florence Nightingale dressed as a Crimean nurse and holding a lamp aloft. The pedestal forms a projection from a backing wall that has a cornice and frieze at the head and two engaged columns to each side. The perimeter of the bay is formed by stone balustrades and benches, terminating in pillars with globe finials. The floor of the bay has stepped paving stones. A metal railing was added around the base of the statue at a later date. The A5194 was formerly the A6, hence it's name of London Road. The statue is on the southwestern side of the road, about 75 metres southeast of the junction with Bradshaw Way at National Grid Reference SK 35680 35651.
