Birmingham and Belfast – Déjà Vu

Queen Victoria Birmingham UK

In my previous post I showed you a picture of a statue of Queen Victoria in the UK city of Birmingham.  I couldn’t help thinking that she looked very familiar and then it occurred to me that I had seen her only a few weeks previously in Belfast…

Queen Victoria Belfast City Hall

Curious, I checked it out and sure enough the statues were both by the same man, English sculptor Sir Thomas Brock.  Looks like he got paid twice for the same piece of work!

As it happens it seems that Thomas made a career out of Queen Victoria Statues and there is another on in Worcester (England)…

In Hove (Sussex) England…

And in Bangalore in India…
