Date:1920 - 1925 (c.)
Description:Victoria Square, Birmingham, seen in a postcard view dating perhaps from the early 1920s. Joseph Hansom's Town Hall and the corner of the Council House are familiar today, as is the statue of Queen Victoria in the foreground. To the left of her is Albert Toft's statue of her son Edward VII, unveiled in 1913 and subsequently moved to Highgate Park. In the background Mason College can just be glimpsed behind the Town Hall. The Chamberlain Memorial and George Dawson's monument can also be seen. The photograph must have been taken from Galloway's Corner, where Christ Church Buildings had recently replaced the old Christ Church.
