Well, my suggestion was to be the equestrian statue of George III,in London rd,which was erected,by public subscription,in 1822!( and though he was rather unpopular,at the time,it, unusually, never seems to have suffered any vandalism!?) But, on checking out George's candidate,Minerva,I could only assume it was, a couple of years older,as the town hall itself, was erected in 1820! So that's in the lead,at the moment....unless somebody knows better?!

Hmm... George III in Monument Place (London Road) was the 1820s. That's the earliest equestrian statue I can think of.
The oldest ones on Merseyside would probably be the Bidston Hill carvings.
Edit: Beaten by Wsteve55, rats!
Nelson memorial in Springfield Park close to Alder Hey is dated around 1805

Hmm... I think a memorial stone can be classed as a monument. Quite often masons who do headstones are called 'monumental masons'.
There is a bible thick book on Liverpool's sculptures and monuments as well as a website which can find you the answer for definite.
