Fancy meeting you.

Looks like a bit of promotional filming underway today on the steps leading up to the Victoria Art Gallery which hopes to reopen in May.

Looks like the Empress of India herself has stepped down from her plinth on the side of the building.

Designed in 1897 and now Grade 2 listed, the gallery was named to celebrate Queen Victoria’s sixty years on the throne.
