Nelson på kolumnen vid Trafalgar square
Nelson’s Column in Trafalgar Square, London.
A major restoration of Nelsons Column was started in April and completed in July 2006. This is only the third time the whole monument has undergone restoration. Previous restoration work to the entire monument took place in 1968 and in 1986, although the statue of Nelson at the top of the column has been cleaned on several occasions.
Scaffolding was erected to the full height of the monument, enabling restorers to access the entire column and the statue of Nelson itself. Pictures are available of the scaffolding structure being erected, close-ups of the statue and the restoration in progress, and the views from the top of the monument, over 50 metres above street level.
