General Gordon memorial, Queens Park Southampton3D ModelNoAI
A first survey using our new drone to capture 115 images of a memorial to Major-General Gordon, located outside our offices in Queen’s Park, Southampton, UK.
On 16 October 1885, this “light and elegant structure” was unveiled; it comprises a stone base on which there are four polished red Aberdeen granite columns, about twenty feet high. The columns are surmounted by carved capitals supporting a cross. The pedestal bears the arms of the Gordon clan and of the borough of Southampton, and also Gordon’s name in Chinese. Around the base is an inscription referring to Gordon as a soldier, philanthropist and administrator and mentions those parts of the world in which he served, closing with a quotation from his last letter to his sisters: “I am quite happy, thank God! and, like Lawrence, I have tried to do my duty.” The memorial is a Grade II listed building.
