Equestrian statue of William III, Bristol
The equestrian statue of William III by John Michael Rysbrack is situated at the centre of Queen's Square, which was home to many Bristol merchants and slave-traders in the eighteenth century. According to Nicola Smith, the city's merchant community and the Society of Merchant Venturers were prominent financial backers of the statue to William, with the Society contributing at least £500 to its erection. The statue was finally unveiled in 1736 amidst the peak of Bristol's involvement in the transatlantic slave trade. -

Nelson's Column
Depicts a standing figure of Nelson, on top of a high Corinthina pillar with an elaborate capitol. Nelson is in a dynamic standing posture, wearing eighteenth-century military attire, and holding a sword in his left hand. The sleeve of the amputated arm is tucked into the lapels of the court. The four sides of the pedestal are decorated with four bronze reliefs, created using captured and melted French cannons. The south-facing panel, titled 'The death of Nelson' depicts a soldier with African features, holding a musket. David Olusoga notes how contemporary observers noticed this figure, their African features, and commented on it positively. Four bronze Barbary lions were added to the base of the column much later, in 1867. -
