Title: Erection of the granite pedestal of King Alfred's statue [Go to resource]
Description: This shows the granite pedestal block, weighing 45 tons about to be placed in position on the base block. Coarse sugar was sprinkled on the upper surface of the lower granite block to absorb the shock when the upper block was lowered down onto it. Behind can be seen the wrought iron railings of the Abbey Gardens. References: 1. Winchester Scrapbooks. Vol 4. p.16-57. 2. Quick Information index, Winchester Local Studies.
