I have been waiting for a moment when the sun shines on the north façade of James Pennethorne’s building in Burlington Gardens to celebrate the fact that the scaffolding is at long last coming down, revealing the freshly cleaned and differently coloured stonework as well as the statuary in its newly restored glory. At which point, it is maybe worth saying that if any of my readers wants to buy association with one of the statues, there are several, including Archimedes, Plato and Goethe, still available:-

The statues do look splendid. I walked past the other week & stopped to admire them.
Oh to be associated with Plato ! Or indeed any of those greats.
How wonderful to be nearing the end of 6 BG !
Any statues of great women?
No, women were in short supply in the Victorian pantheon, but we have been trying to think how to deal with this as an issue. Charles
It is looking really great! I would also like to add both a well done and a thank you to Julian Harrap and Paye Stonework for the top work, and the care taken on this
Thank you, Ben. Quite right. Charles
