Fair enough that'd be the name given by the estate - Obviously what the children and families that lived there are the turn of the last century called it may have been different :-) but thanks for the additional information.

You are certainly most welcome, there is a plaque in the grounds that speaks to the burning cross that fell on the grass scorching it as a result of the raid and a cross of stone laid into the ground at that point - see http://www.panoramio.com/photo/10336211

This seems to have become my most popular picture which I find odd - this is a much more representative view of the beach at Lardos I believe.

This is a bronze statue showing Prince Albert on horseback, and is mounted on a granite pedestal that was donated by the City Corporation. Now a glorified traffic island, it was the City's official monument to him presented by Charles Oppenheim, of the Diamond Trading Company De Bee to commemorate Albert laying the foundation stone of the Royal Exchange in 1842, though not unveiled in Holborn Circus until 1874.

The statue is said to be ‘tipping his hat’ to the passing commuters, although it was originally meant as a gesture towards the City of London. An older picture can be found here
