Lord Carson Statue

At the roundabout at the top of the Prince of Wales Avenue, is the statue of Lord Edward Carson. The 12ft figure stands on a granite plinth to which is attached four bronze plates depicting significant events from Lord Carson's political life. The bronze statue by L.S. Merrifield, was financed by public subscription and was unveiled in June 1933. In a break from the norm, the statue was erected whilst the subject was still alive.
