An iron statue that was outside of Victoria Square House from 1993 until 2017, installed when the TSB had an HQ there. It was moved into storage when the Westside Metro extension to Centenary Square was built from 2017 to 2019, but was only returned to a new spot, outside of the Town Hall during February 2022.

Where? Outside the Town Hall in Victoria Square.
