Description
The Edward VII Memorial Statue, created by sculptor Albert Toft in 1913, is a Grade II listed stone statue of the King depicted in Field Marshal's uniform and Garter Robes. It stands on a high sandstone plinth and features bronze groups representing Education and Progress on the left side, which includes a youth and a boy holding a model of Tower Bridge, and Peace on the right side, represented by a seated female figure with attributes, flowing drapery, and sensitive facial expressions. The front face showcases a more Art Nouveau style in bronze, featuring a crowned drapery niche that contains a small figure of St George and the Dragon. Originally located in Victoria Square in front of the Council House, the statue was later moved to Highgate Park and was relocated to its current position in 2010.
