A
Statue of Edward Wilson
Opposite the Municipal Offices, built as private residences in 1825, is a Statue of Edward Wilson, a local man who joined Captain Scott's ill-fated second expedition to the South Pole. Continuing on from here you'll pass the grandiose Imperial Gardens, built to service the Imperial Spa (now the Queens Hotel), en route to Montpellier, Cheltenham's most fashionable district.

Caryatids
Along Montpellier Walk, caryatids (draped female figures based on those on the Acropolis in Athens) act as structural supports between the shops, each balancing an elaborately carved cornice on its head.
