description: This statue was cast in Pimlico, London. It was originally located at the centre of Statue Square, where it was unveiled by then Governor William Robinson on 28 May 1896, the day officially appointed for the celebration of the 77th birthday of the Queen. During the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, it was taken to Japan to be melted down, along with other statues from the square. After the war the statues were brought back to Hong Kong, and in 1952 Queen Victoria's statue was restored and placed in Victoria Park.
