A question in the quiz in today's Times asks: where does the Nelson Pediment overlook the King William Courtyard? I didn't know the answer but Google did! http://www.thegreenwichphantom.co.uk/20 ... -pediment/ Incidentally, the writer in the above link also reports that the Nelson statue outside the Trafalgar Tavern in Greenwich appears to have been vandalised/damaged - by thieves attempting to steal it for scrap, it is thought. http://www.thegreenwichphantom.co.uk/20 ... fy-nelson/ Apparently, the theft was prominently reported in The Sun, with Our Hero appearing under the banner headline, 'Fix me, Hardy'. (Sorry.) |

I went to Greenwich today to get a picture of the pediment, but even sort of knowing where to look I still couldn't find it and had to ask. It's sad that it's in such an odd, tucked-away place as it's a beautiful work of art. |
