Vanished Victoria

Statues, fountains, plaques, bridge balustrades and street signs disappeared from our public spaces. Missing objects of art or amenity were the landmarks that helped connect us to place, and the stories that surrounded us. This blog lists vanished items and invites you to add your knowledge concerning them. Should you be aware of other lost items, you are invited to forward their details to us. Compiling an inventory of lost artefacts from the public realm will help us safeguard their memory.
