A statue of Admiral Lord Nelson, together with the inscription 'England expects every man to do his duty'. Where will you find it?

Now there is an interesting place, If you turn left for St. Mary's Church  after turning left off the Britannia Bridge, and walk through the graveyard, down to the strait you will see Nelson. You can also see the monument to the men who died constructing and re- constructing the bridge.
From the same lane you can walk to the giant lions hidden under the bridge next to the railway, lost to view when the road was made on the top of the railway after the fire.
