Admiral Lord Nelson

Trafalgar Bi-Centenary 2005 

ADMIRAL LORD NELSON 
1758 - 1805 

Whilst visiting Birmingham in 
August 1802, Vice Admiral 
Viscount Nelson stayed at 
Styles' (later the Royal) Hotel, 
which stood at the site opposite. 

Such was the impression that
Nelson made during his stay,
that after his death at the Battle 
of Trafalgar, Birmingham was 
the first place in the kingdom 
to erect a statue to his memory. 

This foremost statue still
stands in the Bull Ring today.
