NOTES: The design for St George's Hall was won in open competition by Harvey Lonsdale Elmes in 1839. Construction began in 1841 and after Elmes's death in 1847 work was continued by the Corporation Surveyor, John Weightman, until C. R. Cockerell took over as architect in 1851.
NOTES: The statue of Eros, the first London statue cast in aluminium, was designed by Sir Arthur Gilbert and erected in 1893. It stands atop the memorial to the philanthropist Lord Shaftesbury and represents 'Anteros' the Angel of Christian Charity. It has been restored subsequently several times.
