St Ives, Cromwell Statue 1901
Photo ref:

More about this scene
Shortly before this photograph was taken, the Town Council approved an expenditure of £850 to be paid to Frederick Pomeroy RA for the design and execution of a statue of the Lord Protector. It had originally been envisaged that it should stand in Huntingdon, but the town had always had Royalist inclinations and there was little interest from the people. Cromwell had lived at St Ives from 1631 to 1635, and the townsfolk took the project to heart. The globes in the photograph were made of copper, and were part of the original design. They were removed in the 1970s and never replaced.
