The Joseph Sturge statue at Five Ways was protected during WW2. Nelson's statue in the Bull Ring was protected in a similar way during WW2. Nelson was also moved while the 1960s/70s Bull Ring re-development took place. And more recently we've seen the "Golden Boys" (Boulton, Watt & Murdoch) put under protection during the Broad Street road changes.
Do we have others that have been under wraps for their own protection ? Why were they protected ? And how were they protected ?
Below is "Peace" at the Joseph Sturge memorial Five Ways. I don't suppose the symbolism of this act escaped Birmingham's notice, in that "Peace" had to be protected during a world war. Viv.
