A sad dissected George 111, laid out in front of the remaining top half of the 15 foot statue that was erected on top of Dunston Pillar.

Lately there is talk of manufacturing some of the missing pieces and restoring the statue.

This shows the hollow interior of the torso section. Coade stone managed to give a finish comparable with natural stone, but without the penalty of excessive weight.
