Blake Statue, Bronze statue in Fore Street, Bridgwater, England.

The bronze statue depicts Admiral Robert Blake in parliamentary soldier attire, with his right arm extended and holding a sword on a brick platform.

The statue, erected in 1900 to mark the 300th anniversary of Admiral Blake's birth, cost £1,200 and was funded through public contributions.

The Grade II* listed monument represents Admiral Blake's naval achievements during the English Civil War and his role in establishing British maritime power.

Located at coordinates 51.1284, -3.00358, the statue stands at the upper section of Fore Street after its relocation from the Cornhill area in 1986.

The hollow bronze sculpture, created by F. W. Pomeroy, depicts Blake as a parliamentary soldier rather than in naval attire, reflecting his early military career.
