Frampton used the same model for the figure of the queen for two other statues, but placed it on thrones and pedestals of different designs.

Colonel William Windle Pilkington (1839–1914) was mayor of St Helens in 1902, the year of the Coronation of King Edward VII.

In 2000 the statue was restored by the National Conservation Centre in Liverpool, and then replaced in a different position on the west side of Victoria Square.

[4] Queen Victoria sits on a throne, with the sceptre resting on her right forearm, and holding an orb in her left hand.

[b] On top of the capitals are finials with carved harps on the fronts, to signify Ireland, and on the backs are lions rampart for Scotland.

[5][6] Supporting the statue is a base and a pedestal, both square with canted angles, on a hexagonal step.
