More about this scene
This 1890 bronze statue of General Gordon of Khartoum on camel-back was the work of E Onslow Ford, and commemorates his illustrious career. It was erected five years after the general's death. He had been in command of the Royal Engineers at Gravesend from 1865-71, and was responsible for the construction of the protective forts along the Thames. The adjacent Royal Engineers Museum contains many Gordon relics, including the folding chair he used at Khartoum, and a yellow jacket given to him by the Emperor of China.
