Victoriana 10

 

The grand old lady herself.  Erected through public subscription following her death. I think the statue was somewhere else in Sheffield originally and relocated (probably some time in the 1950s) to its present location in Endcliffe Park.


En route to Porto today - back next Wednesday, when normal service will be resumed!

They do Queen Vic on a whole different scale in Kolkata:
