Mr Walker

The figure in the sculpture is encrusted with balls that represent the lead shot made at the works. The bronze sculpture is mounted on two stainless steel spheres. It is called 'Mr Walker' after the Walker family, who built Chester's iconic shot tower in 1799. They ran the business for over a century. Chester Shot Tower, also known as Boughton Shot Tower, is Grade II* Listed, as the tower is the oldest of three remaining shot towers in the UK
