The statue stands on a plinth of Portland stone, outside the old Register Office on Broad Street in Birmingham, England.

It is known locally as The Golden Boys after its colour, or The Carpet Salesmen after the partially-rolled-up plan of a steam engine which they are examining.

All three men were members of the Lunar Society.

It was unveiled in 1956, from preliminary designs drawn up in 1938.

The statue was restored and re-gilded, and replaced in its old position in September 2006.
