Canterbury Memorial, Christchurch
Location

Victoria Square, Christchurch

History

Originally designed to commemorate the reign of Queen Victoria and the arrival of the first settlers into Canterbury in 1850, the foundation stone for this memorial was laid by the Duke of Cornwall during his visit in June 1901. The statue was unveiled on Empire Day 1903, but at that time did not include the South African War memorial panels. These panels were added and the stature unveiled a second time 7th April 1904.
