Légende

Queen-Square, Wolverhampton, with statue of the late Prince Consort, 1871. Equestrian sculpture by Thomas Thornycroft, unveiled by Queen Victoria. 'The market-place, where it stands, is now called Queen-square. Though Wolverhampton is a smoky, grimy, uninviting place to look at, like the other hardware towns of South Staffordshire, it has good streets, wide and well paved, with handsome public buildings, and the local community shows great spirit and intelligence'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
