Description
The Statue of Queen Victoria, located approximately 15 metres to the west of Shire Hall, was erected in 1887. It features a grey granite plinth with a white marble statue of the Queen, who is depicted standing in robes of state while holding an orb and sceptre. The plinth has a stepped base and is inscribed with a dedication that reads: "This statue of Queen Victoria was erected by her loyal subjects of the county of Worcester in commemoration of the completion of 50 years of Her Majesty's happy reign 1887." The statue is signed at the rear right angle of the plinth by the sculptor Thomas Brock, a prominent figure known for public statues, including the Victoria Memorial in London. Historically, Foregate Street was referred to as 'the mall' in the 18th century and was noted for being a fashionable promenade. The statue, along with Shire Hall, the City Museum and Library, and several other buildings on Foregate Street, forms an important group of historical structures.
