The statue to one of Britain's most often-commemorated monarchs stands prominently in the middle of College Green, Bristol. As part of the redevelopment of the site, we conserved and relocated her and the bronze-clad base upon which she stood.
Underneath the statue was hidden a time-capsule, which went to Bristol City Museum to be examined, but was not opened at that juncture.

Before conservation, the statue was lifted with soft slings. This photo shows how the green corrosion on the bronze around the base has stained the stone.
