• Blackboy Clock
  A large clock, four foot by four foot with golden roman numerals on a black background, which incorporates a blackamoor caricature of an African child into its design. When functioning, the caricature is meant to ring a bell on the hour. The clock was assembled in 1774 by John Miles but the creation of the figure may predate this. At present, the exact origins of the statuette are unclear. It bears some resemblance to painted wooden figures of “Black Boys” that were used as tobacconists’ shop signs in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, but the clock was not originally sited on a building for selling tobacco goods. Many "Black Boy" names, signs, and architectural features are still in existence across the rural and urban landscapes of modern Britain. They are increasingly the site of contestation over the ways in which racism has been physically inscribed in the environment, as many events since 2020 have demonstrated.

• Equestrian statue of Redvers Buller, Exeter
  Equestrian statue of General Sir Redvers Buller and his horse "Biffen", sculpted by Adrian Jones. The statue was commissioned by the Buller Memorial Committee (established in Exeter in October 1901 after Buller's controversial dismissal from the British Army) and was unveiled in the city in 1905. The statue stands at the junction of Hele Road and New North Road, in between Exeter College and Bury Meadow Park. The statue and its plinth make direct references to Buller's colonial career. The inclusion of Buller's horse Biffen and the line on the plinth, "HE SAVED NATAL", are references to Buller's eventual victory at the relief of Ladysmith on March 1st, 1900 during the Second Boer War of 1899-1902. Other inscriptions on the plinth note the locations where Buller was involved in colonial conflicts, including India, China, Canada, Ashanti (Ghana), Sudan and South Africa. The statue of Buller is unusual in that it is a rare case of an equestrian statue depicting a military general located outside of London. Most statues of this type (which typically depicted either a monarch or a military figure) were usually installed in the metropole at the time, and the statue of Stapleton Cotton in Cheshire is probably the closest artistic counterpart to Buller's statue. Jones had considerable experience in sculpting equestrian statues beforehand, producing works such as Duncan's Horses in 1892 and Persimmon in 1895.
