Bust

Queen Victoria - Regent's Park

Site: Readymoney fountain (3 memorials)

NW1, Regent's Park, Broad Walk

The four pediments of this edifice contain:
north - a clock face
west - Prince Albert relief bust
south - Jehangir relief bust
east - Queen Victoria relief bust.
At least that's who we think they are. You can see that they are so weather-worn it's difficult to be sure. 2014: We read reports that Royal Parks and Camden have noticed that restoration work is needed.

The plaque is lower down on the south, Jehangir, face. It's on that page alone that we have connected to the various creators.
