A memorial to Edward VII that marks the boundary between Hove and Brighton. It depicts an angel, representing peace, holding an orb and an olive branch. It is in fact a memorial to Edward VII, 'The Peacemaker'. He convalesced several times in Brighton. In 1910 Brighton Council approached Hove Council concerning a memorial to the late King. Each town chose a committee including each Mayor and Town Clerk. They met on Wednesday 2 November 1910 and jointly decided that the money raised from public subscription would be spent on providing a home for the Queens Nurses and on a memorial to be erected on the border of both towns. A sum of £1800 was paid to the Queens Nurses towards their new headquarters in Wellington Road and £900 was spent on the memorial. It was designed by Newbury Trent and bears the arms of both Brighton and Hove boroughs. The statue was unveiled by the Duke of Norfolk in October 1912. Part of the memorial fund raised jointly by the two Boroughs was devoted to the provision of a Home for the Queens Nurses, in Wellington Road, Brighton. For a year before the erection of the statue, a wooden model of it stood in its place. The site of the statue itself is actually in Brighton, but the responsibility of maintaining it is Hove's. The memorial cost £1000 when constructed. Newbury Trent got the commission by winning a competition in which their were eighteen submissions from artists and firms.
