Duke of York Column
Duke of York Column
Located in Waterloo Place, the column is a 34 metre (112 ft) tall granite column with a statue of Frederick, Duke of York and Albany. The monument was built in 1831-1834 to a design by Benjamin Dean Wyatt. The duke, who is best known for his reform of the army, is remembered in a nursery rhyme as the grand old duke who marched his men to the top of the hill, and marched them down again.
