Description
There are two busts located in the public gardens on Westbrooke Road. These busts are probably from the early 18th century and are made of white marble, although they have become very weathered over time. They depict a male and a female figure, shown from the head and shoulders, with Baroque-style draperies. The busts are set on modern pedestals that were added around 1934 or 1935.
