The pedestrian centre of Hull, Queen Victoria's statue dominates, surrounded as she is by three trident yielding maidens. The Monarch looks less than amused at the collapse of her empire. The remnants are impressive, though. Behind her is the Town Hall, its facade is wrought in yellow sandstone. Roman columns decorate the grand entrance recalling another empire gone but not forgotten.
