Aldershot


I was sent to Aldershot for two days by my employers. While there I found the statue of the Duke of Wellington that was removed from the top of the Wellington Arch near Hyde Park in 1883. The Duke lived in Apsley House on Hyde Park corner. The statue used to be on top of the arch in front of the house in Wellington Square. It was moved to Aldershot in 1885 and restored in 2004.
