UK - London - King Alfred statue and bus stop

Towering over a Stagecoach bus passenger is the statue (by sculptor Hamo Thornycroft) of Saxon King Alfred that overlooks a modern Winchester, Hampshire, England. Alfred the Great (849 - 899) was King of Wessex from 871 to 899. Alfred successfully defended his kingdom against the Viking attempt at conquest, and by his death had become the dominant ruler in England. He is the only English monarch to be accorded the epithet "the Great". The Thornycroft statue was unveiled during the millenary celebrations of Alfred's death.
