Summary
editDescriptionThe Library of Birmingham - windows first level - point of view of Boulton, Watt and Murdoch (6006584592).jpg |
First level of windows are being installed at The Library of Birmingham. From Broad Street. Noticed this view a few days before this. It is looking good from Broad Street. Boulton, Watt and Murdoch witness the latest goings on opposite them. They are impressed! Bloye's 1956 bronze conversation piece of Boulton, Watt and Murdoch, intended for the Civic Centre scheme. They are grouped discussing drawings, the butt of many jokes, but a skilful solution to relating three standing figures. From Pevsner Architectural Guides: Birmingham by Andy Foster. The gilded bronze statue of Matthew Boulton, James Watt and William Murdoch by William Bloye and Raymond Forbes-Kings stands on a plinth of Portland stone, outside the old Register Office on Broad Street in Birmingham, England. It is known locally as The Golden Boys after its colour, or The Carpet Salesmen after the partially-rolled-up plan of a steam engine which they are examining. All three men were members of the Lunar Society. Sponsored by an £8,000 bequest from Richard Wheatley in 1939, and £7,500 from the City Council, it was unveiled in 1956, from preliminary designs drawn up in 1938. The statue was restored and re-gilded, and replaced in its old position in September 2006. Boulton, Watt and Murdoch |
