Queen Victoria Statue Unveiled in Georgetown

Victoria was the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1837 until her death in 1901. On 4th September 1894, a jubilee statue of the Queen was unveiled for the first time in Georgetown, British Guiana in front of the Victoria Law Courts. The statue was the result of the action of a citizens committee and chaired by the City's Mayor Mr. J. Barrington Woolford.
