	Trafalgar Square - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Trafalgar Square is a square in central London that commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar (1805), a British naval victory of the Napoleonic Wars.
		Nelson's Column is in the centre of the square, surrounded by fountains and four huge bronze lions sculpted by Sir Edwin Landseer; the metal used is said to have been recycled from the cannon of the French fleet.
		At the corners of the square are four plinths; the two northern ones were intended to be used for equestrian statues, and thus are wider than the two southern.

	The Scotland Guide: Glasgow: George Square
		George Square is regarded as the very centre of the city as this is the location of the City Chambers, Glasgow`s main public building.
		The square was laid out in 1781, even though a few years later it was still being described as a `hollow, filled with green-water, and a favourite resort for drowning puppies, while the banks of this suburban pool were the slaughtering place of horses`.
		The square was to achieve its pre-eminence when the city moved its centre westwards and the merchants and manufacturers who controlled the council wanted a lavishly decorated building and a grand civic space which reflected their position as leaders of `The Second City`.
