Boer War Memorial Statue - Riversley Park - Nuneaton
Author
Elliott Brown from Birmingham, United Kingdom
Edward Melly, one of Nuneaton's notable historical figures, gave the land for Riversley Park (named after his own home in Liverpool), complete with the bandstand and museum, to the much delighted council in 1807. It was by sheer coincidence that the council happened to be looking for an open space at the time.
The statue depicts an infantryman wearing a British Army uniform worn in the Boer War between 1899 and 1902. In 2006 the original statue was stolen.
The new statue has been moved here situated opposite the museum, this new statue was opened to the public on the 26/10/08.
