Description
The Statue of Queen Victoria, located in Victoria Park, Carlisle, was created in 1902 by Sir Thomas Brock, a notable late-Victorian sculptor. This statue is made of unpolished light-coloured granite ashlar and bronze. It stands on broad granite steps and features a moulded and chamfered plinth with a square shaft. The shaft has bronze panels that depict themes of Empire, Education, Science and Art, and Commerce, all signed by the sculptor. Atop the plinth is a standing figure of Queen Victoria dressed in state robes. An inscription on the front of the plinth provides details about Victoria and her reign, while the rear inscription lists the names of those who contributed to the cost of the panels. This statue is identical to another statue by the same sculptor located in Brighton and Hove. Sir Thomas Brock is well-known for creating numerous statues of Queen Victoria, including the Victoria Memorial in The Mall, London.
