Does anyone know what happened to the stonework casing around Victoria's statue? Was it destroyed during the war? I know the statue has ended up unadorned in Victoria park

One of Hedda Morrison's photos shows the empty cupola in 1946-7.

Looks like the link above to the HM collection is missing. Here is a similar photo.

Thanks moddsey - I'd forgotten the problems linking to that site.
