Statue really Coade stone?

The rapid weathering described here is inconsistent with descriptions of Coade stone. See my comment there.

Sources suggest that the poor design and manufacture contributed to the damage. The designer is described in at least one source as "mediocre". The position (especially in those days, when the crescent was extremely isolated) was also very exposed indeed, facing the prevailing wind which was laden with salt from the sea. Anyway, all sources do indeed confirm that it was Coade stone. Hassocks5489 (tickets please!) 21:01, 19 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
