'THE EAGLE SLAYER' by John Bell - Bethnal Green Museum, Cambridge Heath Road, London Borough of Tower Hamlets
Author(s): Roger Bowdler
This report was prompted by an inquiry from Mark Hutton, Conservation Officer with LB Tower Hamlets, in early May 2000. English Heritage London Region has delegated authority for determining the Listed Building Consent application, which has been made by Bethnal Green Museum. The proposal is to relocate this 1851 cast iron statue by John Bell in a new display at the Science Museum in South Kensington. The statue has stood outside Bethnal Green Museum since 1927 This being the English Heritage Year of Public Sculpture, it seemed timely to look into the statue 's history in order to ascertain whether any further involvement with this potentially contentious case would be required.
