Pictures

There are several Geograph images available here (these are all freely available for adding to Commons).

As of today there were three:

an exterior view (not very pretty!)
a classic interior view of the painted ironwork
one of the working engine in motion (ie various parts blurred!).

News

According to this news website, as of May 2008 the funding was in hand and only a dispute over an access road stood in the way of the restoration proceeding.

This needs to be brought up-to-date, and the news incorporated into the article.

Category rvt?

Murgatroyd49, not sure I follow your logic here. You say there's no actual monument (which depends on the definition of "monument"), but the category is Monuments and memorials to Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Surely something of this sort, named after the old boy, is by definition a "memorial"? -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 09:00, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Do you list the various Victoria stations as memorials to his wife? Murgatroyd49 (talk) 09:03, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Probably not, but the Victoria Line itself (or the Victoria & Albert Museum, etc.), quite probably yes. Thought it might be a good category to add. If you disagree, I'm not going to get fussed about it either way. Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 09:12, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Naming various pieces of machinery, normally ships, or places after prominent people is quite common but they are not normally regarded as memorials to that person and adding them to that category will just flood it with items that are irrelevant to the purpose of the category.
