    Streetview of the now empty plinth. Another angle Bing bird's eye view
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The pillar was 90 feet in height surmounted by the statue of Rev. George Walker “of heroic size”(20 feet), with one hand outstretched towards the site of the river barrier/boom. Internally a spiral staircase of 105 steps (The Siege lasted 105 days – the longest in British History) allowed access to the viewing platform on top. The pillar and statue were destroyed by a bomb explosion in August 1973. Only the pedestal remains to this day. A 2010 story on the destruction of the pillar.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Ooh, dating info from that story: Originally, the left hand held a sword, but during a night of storm in the early part of this century the sword was blown down.

    And today, what's left of him.

    The house seems to have been replace by the clubhouse of the Golf club.

    Edit: looking at entirely the wrong spot!

    Low Rock Castle demolished without permission in 2001.

    Field Marshal, not General, White had quite an interesting career.

    Some more information about the building with a picture of what's there now.

    There is another earlier? (better paint) photo, with a distinguished looking fellow seated outside. I wonder if it is Field Marshal Sir George Stuart White, VC, GCB, OM, GCSI, GCMG, GCIE, GCVO (6 July 1835 – 24 June 1912). Wouldn't that be something! - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000336471
  • beachcomber australia said:
    From Wikipedia - " ... White became Governor of Gibraltar in May 1900 and,[34] in that role, was promoted to full general on 9 October 1900 and to field marshal on 8 April 1903. ..."
    Which suggests this photo with reference to "General White" is between October 1900 and April 1903. Perhaps.
