Description
The Queen Victoria Monument is a canopied structure located in Derby Square, completed in 1902 by F.M. Simpson in collaboration with Willink and Thicknesse, with sculptures by Charles Allen added in 1906. The monument features a circular stone base with steps, which is further elevated by additional steps arranged in a cross plan. There are seats in the angles and urns at the ends, along with four sculptured figure groups positioned in the inner angles, representing Education, Industry, Commerce, and Agriculture.
Atop the base is a circular domed pavilion supported by four sets of four coupled Ionic columns, which are adorned with a circular cornice and sculptured figures at each angle symbolizing justice, wisdom, charity, and peace. At the pinnacle of the dome stands a trumpeting angel, representing fame. Beneath this baldachin is a bronze statue of Queen Victoria, which was originally covered in gold mosaic.
