Statues of two prominent figures in the City of London with links to the Transatlantic slave trade will be removed and re-sited, the City of London Corporation’s Policy and Resources Committee has decided.
The committee voted to move statues of William Beckford and Sir John Cass which currently stand in its historic Guildhall headquarters.
The City Corporation will set up a working group to oversee the removal of the statues and the works that could replace them, and will also consider commissioning a new memorial to the slave trade in the City.
