Churchill
This bronze sculpture of Winston Churchill by sculptor Oscar Neman has been installed along Queen St in front of City Hall since 1977 but it always seemed lost in the activity of the street. It has recently been moved to a location along the side of City Hall and has had benches installed and trees planted around it. Now it feels like a place to stop and think about one of history's greats.

It is a great piece. I like the texture of it.
He was quite a guy,
He was born not that far from where I live.
wow. such an imposing figure!
A very nice statue. It reminds me of a visit to the War Rooms in London. A very interesting museum that I would recommend to anyone.
That's a great statue of him, very dynamic looking!
A nice place to sit and maybe read one of his own works or else a history of his era.
Wonderful statue! I'm glad they have moved him to a better place.
That's a wonderful piece of sculpture. I'd love to have met the man.
Definitely one of the greats!
Finally he is given a deserved spot.
I recall that they were going to be moving him from his original spot when I was last in town. I've always liked that statue.
I hope he likes his new location!
Nice statue.
The Allies were very fortunate to have strong leaders at that critical time in history.
Nice statue!
What a guy!
