Queen Victoria in Victoria Square, Birmingham

myminifactory

Victoria Square is a vibrant public square in Birmingham, England. It proudly serves as the home of both the iconic Town Hall and the Council House, standing directly adjacent to Chamberlain Square. Birmingham's center point, Victoria Square, plays a significant role in measuring local road sign distances. This bustling area is just a short walk from St. Philip's Cathedral on Colmore Row and lies along the primary pedestrian route connecting the Bull Ring and Brindleyplace areas. Three major roads converge here: Colmore Row, New Street, and Paradise Street. The square also features statues that have stood the test of time, with one notable exception - a statue of Queen Victoria. Created in 1901 by Thomas Brock, it was later recast in bronze by William Bloye in 1951. Unfortunately, its sceptre capital has been missing for some years but is due to be replaced in 2010 thanks to the research and assistance of The Victorian Society. The plinth supporting this iconic statue was also replaced with composite Cornish marble in 1951. This object is part of the "Scan The World" initiative.
