Me and my dad visit the Nelson statue and the area where the Styles, later Royal, Hotel once was in Birmingham.
Nelson visited Birmingham during his tour of Wales and the Midlands in 1802 with the Hamiltons. They stayed there for a couple of days, during which they went to the theatre, visited the Blue Coat School, a toy shop, a stained glass factory, a brass foundry and about a billion other manufactoring workshops!
This statue was erected in 1809 and was the first statue of him in Britain.
