According to the plaque, this statue of William IV was erected by public subscription in 1833 to commemorate the King's coronation. It was moved from Imperial Gardens to the current Montpellier Gardens site in 1920. In the distance is the somewhat monolithic 1960s Eagle Tower in much the same shade of concrete as the stone of the statue. Green algae has grown on the head and shoulders of William.
