Image description

Illuminated by Alan Lansdown Tabor The address commemorates Manchester's contribution of 2,000 guineas towards the funding of Scott's expedition, raised from 'Subscribers resident in Manchester and the surrounding district'. Scott had estimated the costs of the expedition to be in the region of £40,000. He and 'Teddy' Evans were the two main fundraisers, and, with little initial official backing, were forced to tour Britain in a determined effort to raise money. The present address recalls what was a major boost to the finances of the expedition, and must have been influential in persuading the government to grant £25,000 towards the costs.
