Was the Godiva statue moved?

Haven't lived in Cov for a 20+yrs so haven't seen much of the changes, but saw a walkabout vid of the town centre and the Godiva statue seemed to be missing. What happened?

It's in the same place it has always been

Must have just been missed on the footage (seemed odd it would be moved / demolished). Thanks for answer

It was turned at some point. I can't remember when though. She used to be facing in a different direction.

I remember there being a park/green area with seating and the like before they built Cathedral Lanes.
Was it moved at this point?

It’s been moved a couple of times or reset of foundations . Always in Broadgate.

The statue was initially installed facing south, but was rotated to face west in 1989 during the construction of the Cathedral Lanes Shopping Centre.[1] A canopy was erected over the statue at the same time, which was removed in 2008.[2]

Oh yeah. I forgot all about the canopy.
