Lord Nelson Statue, Menai Straits Anglesey, DJI mini 4

Lord Clarence Paget, art lover and sculptor and former Lord of the Admiralty, had used concrete to create statues for his estate as it was much cheaper than marble and more durable to the exposed environment of North Wales.
Apparently the Admiralty were surveying the Menai Strait at the time and suggested that if an already planned statue were to change location slightly it would serve as a navigation aid to local mariners navigating this difficult stretch of water. The suggestion was accepted by Lord Clarence and the statue was erected in 1873.
