Bronze Status of Queen Victoria [Map] commemorating 500 years of Shrievalty i.e. the jurisdiction of a sheriff of Newcastle. The statue was a gift to Newcastle by William Haswell Stephenson who was mayor of the city seven times. He commissioned the sculptor Sir Alfred Gilbert (age 48) to create it and was finally unveiled on the 24th of April 1903, two years after her death. There are two inscriptions on the pedestal reading "Victoria RI 1837-1901" and "Thine is the Greatness and the Power and the Glory and the Victory and the Majesty".
