Statue of Lord Horatio Nelson, Bridgetown

The Statue of Lord Horatio Nelson gives Bridgetown a little touch of England. Actually it was built before London's Lord Nelson column, in 1813. This majestic bronze statue was made by the well known sculptor Sir Richard Westmacott. It is located in Heroes Square, formerly known as Old Trafalgar Square. It is, undoubtedly, something that one would not have imagined to be in Bridgetown.
