I'll add these as I find them.

This is Glasgow's Wellington, with the traffic-cone on his head:

Don't forget the Wellington monument near Wellington in Somerset. I'd post the goolge link if I had time, sure someone has it

Not actually a statue, but the Old Wellington pub in Manchester is interesting because of its tendency to wander about the city.

Thanks both

That mobile pub is fascinating. I can't imagine how they manage to dismantle it so easily.

I've found some pictures of it in all three locations:

You'll see that after the latest move it gained a 90 degree bend.
The version I have fondest memories of is the middle one - I was a student at the time. It's actually two pubs. The bit on the right with the whiter daub is Sinclair's, which always had better beer.
