Today marks the anniversary of the unveiing of a statue of Brigadier-General John Nicholson (1822-57). It was presented to the public in Lisburn’s Market Square on the 19th January 1922 101 years ago!

Since its unveiling the statue has become very much apart of Lisburn’s Market Square and unsurprisingly has been captured by many photographers over the years.

Explore Nicholson, the statue and his legacy in our outdoor display at the base of the statue.
