Lord Hill’s column still stands in Shrewsbury at the eastern end of Abbey Foregate, although the adjoining cottage was demolished to make way for the modern Shropshire Shirehall. The seventeen-foot high statue of Hill at the column’s summit, modelled in ‘Coade stone’, a type of stoneware ceramic developed in the 1760s, has weathered badly. At the time of the bicentenary of Waterloo, moves are in hand to replace it, supported by the Friends of Lord Hill’s Column.
