As the only son of George Stephenson, known as the "Father of Railways," Robert continued to push the boundaries of innovation in the 19th century. Renowned for his exceptional engineering skills, he has been hailed as one of the greatest engineers of his time. The sculpture was carefully crafted by Barles H. Mabey, who inscribed and dated it with meticulous detail, "0897." Edward William Wyon's original design serves as a testament to the enduring power of art and technology.
