Neptune statue in the Market Place Durham

---

Overlooked by the spire of St Nicholas Church is the King Neptune statue in the Market Place Durham. The statue was originally placed in the Market Square above a pant or drinking fountain in 1729. In the early 20th century the statue was removed to a local park to make way for modern traffic. After various subsequent moves and restorations the statue was returned to a modern plinth in the Market Square in 1991
