Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Queen Victoria's statue. This monument, possibly Dovercourt's most famous landmark, was unveiled on Saturday June 11th 1904 by the Earl of Warwick, dedicated to the memory of the beloved Queen Victoria who had died three years previously. The money to pay for the memorial was raised by public subscription and it was designed and constructed by Watts of Colchester. Fourteen feet high and weighing almost 9 tons, the memorial was made of Carrara marbIe on a Cornish granite base. The Earl of Warwick. who was the Lord Lieutenant of Essex, arrived at 5pm to perform the unveiling and inspected a guard of honour of the Suffolk and Harwich R,G.A. An enclosure was put opposite the Hotel Alexandra for the invited guests. For 87 years the Queen has cast her eye down Kingsway and no visitor can fail to notice the imposing figure.
