William Huskisson statue April 22, 2019 Whitehall1965 Leave a comment Commemorative statue to William Huskisson, the first person to killed by a train in 1830, which stands in Pimlico Gardens on the north bank of the River Thames in London.

As I was close to Pimlico Gardens I thought I would seek it out and take a photo
