I'm still struggling with how terribly sad it is that many statues end up hidden in storage (or in the case of Josiah Mason, cut down). These people played a major part in how Birmingham developed. Viv.
Question. After assuming that one statue had to be of Chamberlain I feel a little cautious. But to me the Dawson statue in El's photo has its hands in a different position from the statue in Dennis's original picture?
He was removed in 2015 here he is having a rest on the back of a lorry
I have found out from the Joseph Priestley House website that the statue was moved to Chamberlain Square in 1913.Does anyone know when Joseph Priestley's statue was moved from Victoria Square to Chamberlain Square?
Did we confirm the identify of the seated statue that is in the background? He seems to have been there for several decades.View attachment 114460 View attachment 114460
Can anyone name the four statues featured here in Chamberlain Square....and the approx date of this photo....pretty please....?
