A figure in bronze of the late Queen Victoria created by sculptor George
Frampton.   Together with large bronze figures representing Peace and
Industry, the statue forms part of the Victoria Memorial erected in memory
of the late Queen in 1905.  It sits on top of a 30 foot high plinth of
Portland stone.  At the base of the statue, on the right, it's just possible
to make out the name of the artist, and underneath this, the date 1905.

The following is a description of the statue from the Yorkshire Evening Post
of the 23rd November 1905 :

"Queen Victoria is represented seated, crown on head, and Coronation robes
depending around her figure; in her right hand is the Sceptre, in her left,
the Orb, surmounted by the Cross as symbolising the progress made by
Christianity in the Victorian era.  In feature her Majesty is depicted as
she appeared at the age of about fifty years, and the whole of the work is
executed in bronze, somewhat of lighter shade than that of the statuary in
City Square."
