A Sketch in Leicester Square
Leicester Square with the equestrian statue of George I formerly at its centre. " ... In the days of which we are writing (1860s) Leicester Square was a barren waste surrounded by rusty railings, trodden down in all directions; refuse of every description was shot into it, whilst in the centre a dilapidated equestrian statue that assumed various adornments as the freaks of drunken roysterers suggested." - 'One of the Old Brigade' (Donald Shaw), London in the Sixties, 1908 (http://www.victorianlondon.org/districts/leicestersquare.htm - Nov 2004).
