A sculpture, approximately in the middle of the Shankill Graveyard, described on the Belfast City Council website as “Another feature is the sculpture of Queen Victoria by artist John Cassidy which you can see from the main entrance. The statue was originally located at in [sic] Durham Street, before being moved to the cemetery in 2003.
