under Queen Vic


There is almost always a third layer of 'statues' underneath Queen Victoria's statue in the City Hall grounds. (The bronze figures under the Queen apparently represent spinning, shipbuilding (the two main industries in Victorian Belfast) and education.) Any suggestions as to what the teenagers below represent (the two on the right must represent love, of course).

I hope you don't mind me posting my photo of the weaver - I was saving it for later but when I saw your's I just thought it would be a nice complement to it.

My first though was the same as Dr. Adder - but my second thought was Life. They represent life & growth.
