Idiot. You are getting your statues mixed up. The one that created uproar at the time was the one in Lord Square, where the old Cav used to be. It is the one with the woman cradling the child in her arms and she ain't wearing a wedding ring - very risque at the time (about 1969). The woman and child on the boulevard is a nice bit of fun.

Oh, and you forgot the Gladstone statue.
