Queen Victoria Statue
Queen Victoria has been watching over her park since 1903, thanks to this bronze statue designed by Francis John Williamson. The statue commemorates both Queen Victoria’s reign and the settlement of Canterbury.
The statue and its plinth were earthquake strengthened and relocated to the southeast corner of Victoria Square during the square’s redevelopment in 1989. This strengthening process allowed both the statue and the plinth to remain undamaged by the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes.
