Description: | Showing Prince Albert's statue. The statue was sculpted by by Thomas Thorneycroft of London in 1866. The inscription reads: 'Albert, Prince Consort, born 1819, died 1861'. The statue's inauguration is said to have been Queen Victoria's first public engagement after Prince Albert's death. Following the Queen's visit to Wolverhampton on 30 November 1866 to unveil the statue, the town centre (until then known as High Green) was renamed Queen Square to mark the occasion. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Archives | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Archives | Subjects: | Photograph Photographs | Temporal: | [1990] | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
