The statue of Queen Victoria in Victoria Square is by Thomas Brock and was unveiled on 10 January 1901, just 12 days before her death. The original statue was marble. In 1951 (to mark the Festival of Britain) a bronze cast was made. In 1992 this was taken away to be cleaned, returning in April 1993 as the refurbishment of the Square was nearing completion.
