This week's #WellingtonWednesday is the (giant) Equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington in Aldershot... Formerly on Wellington Arch.

Designed by Matthew Wyatt it sits at 30 foot high on a mound in Aldershot ('The home of the British Army') but it wasn't intended for there.

As the Constitution Hill Arch was "repurposed" to honour Wellington by committee, Wyatt's giant statue was placed atop.

Imoressive,but out of proportion, it was ridiculed by the press & population.

When Wellington Arch was moved (est 200m) it was rehomed.
