  Nelson statue should not have such prominence on Broad St. This bastion of colonialism who fought fiercely for Great Britain is no Barbados national hero. This statue should be removed and placed at the Barbados Museum. Those who wish to see it can view it there. They are several national heroes whose statue deserve to grace the capital's main street.

  But the Barbadians of that time thought he was, and erected this statue 13 years before the one in London. It is believed that Nelson spent a total 3 years in Carlisle Bay ,and never once set foot on Barbados soil. Probably a more fitting place ,if he must be relocated , is the Nelson Gate at Queens Park.
