Statue of Queen Victoria, St Helens

The Statue of Queen Victoria is a bronze work located on Victoria Square depicting the monarch seated on a throne holding a sceptre and orb. The sculpture sits atop a tall pedestal combining granite and sandstone, elevating the figure prominently above ground level.

The sculpture was created by renowned artist George Frampton and unveiled in 1905 as a tribute to the late queen. Its placement on the town's central square made it an important civic monument for St Helens.

The statue displays symbols representing royal power and British unity from its era. Visitors can observe how these symbols were intended to convey the authority and values of the time.

The statue is located on a public square and is easily accessible on foot from the town center. The elevated position on its pedestal allows visitors to view the work from multiple angles and distances.

The monument underwent restoration work in 2000 and was relocated to a different position on the square. This relocation reflects how towns adapt their civic monuments to changing urban needs and planning.
