Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, October 23, 2007 - Fredericton
Britannia sculpture lowered from legislature as part of refurbishment work
The sculpture Britannia, which has stood at the top of the central north entrance pediment of the Legislative Assembly building for over 125 years, was recently removed as part of an ongoing refurbishment of the building. The sculpture had to be removed so that the pediment could be reinforced, as it has greatly deteriorated over the years. Britannia''s condition will now be evaluated in the hopes that it can be restored.
