The bronze statue of Queen Victoria, seated on the throne and mounted on a stone plinth, is by G Frampton; it was erected in 1906. A bronze plaque on the plinth reads: VICTORIA 1837-1901 The figure of Victoria is finely detailed and is similar to the Victoria statue in Leeds by the same sculptor. The statue is Grade II* listed (Historic England List Entry Number: 1075878 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1075878 ). Originally sited in the middle of Victoria Square, it has been repositioned at the northwest corner of the square.
