Nice statue. In 1910, the Birmingham Mail launched an appeal to erect a statue to Edward VII, in order to commemorate his reign. Albert Toft was commissioned to craft the statue but the project immediately ran into problems because it was to be over six feet tall, making it difficult to find a large enough piece of Carrara marble for its construction. The statue was unveiled in Victoria Square on St George's Day. It was then eventually moved to Highgate Park when Victoria Square was remodelled in 1951. It was the subject of theft in the 1970-80’s, beginning with the theft of Saint George's lance and then the three bronze groups in 1985 and 1986, none of which have been recovered. Birmingham City Council agreed to restore the statue and resite it back in the city centre. A new sceptre and orb capital and the three bronzes representing, respectively, Peace, Education and Progress, and St George slaying the dragon beneath a stylised crown were re-made, and the monument reassembled on its original plinth, outside Baskerville House in Centenary Square.
