Description:This statue of Queen Victoria was presented to the town of Newcastle-under-Lyme in 1903 by Sir Alfred Haslam, and was unveiled by the Grand Duke Michael of the Russian Imperial family to celebrate the coronation of Edward VII. It stood in Nelson Place until 1963, when it was moved to Station Walks after the development of the ring road. It was moved to its present site in Queen's Gardens in 2001, the process of which you can see here. Buried underneath is a time capsule, put together by the pupils of St George's and St Giles' Primary School.
