671-1/6/279 Statue of Queen Victoria
II
Also known as: Statue of Queen Victoria BITTS PARK.
Statue of Queen Victoria. 1902 by Sir Thomas Brock RA.
Unpolished light-coloured granite ashlar and bronze. Set on
broad granite steps is a moulded and chamfered plinth with
square shaft which has bronze panels depicting EMPIRE,
EDUCATION, SCIENCE AND ART, COMMERCE (all signed by sculptor);
surmounted by standing figure of Victoria in state robes.
Inscription on front of plinth gives details of Victoria and
her reign; rear inscription records the names of those
subscribing to costs of the panels. For illustration of
unveiling see Perriam (1989).
This statue is identical to one erected by the same sculptor
at Brighton and Hove. Sir Thomas Brock was one of the more
prominent late-Victorian sculptors who did a large number of
statues of Queen Victoria (pre-eminently the Victoria
Memorial, The Mall, London).
(Perriam DR: Carlisle in Camera 2: 1989-: P.22).
