Recreating this 'First' for the square https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/88573 as best as can be done. The original was taken from a location which is either not publicly accessible, or where a hedge has grown to a height which means that no photo is available.

Statue of Hercules
This statue is a copy of the 'Farnese Hercules', a Roman statue of 1st or 2nd century, by Charles Harriott Smith in 1851. It was carved for the Geological Museum in London from a single, 15-ton block of stone quarried at Portland in Dorset. After 20 years of public display the statue was deemed offensive to Victorian propriety, and Hercules' genitals were removed (and stored) and replaced by a fig leaf. On the removal of Hercules to Keyworth in 1977 the decision was taken to restore him to 'a complete and entire state', although he was originally hidden in an inner courtyard and inaccessible to a casual visitor. Prior to further building work in that area, Hercules was relocated to the side of the main entrance, where he is now gloriously displayed again.
