Yes they may go to those places, but Jen, most of those places have more than one thing in their favour.
They are multidimensional.
So they build some sort of edifice on top of ......well let's say the Coppice.
There isn't much else to keep them here.
Tom Finney and Preston.....a city, shops, a market.
Nelson's column....is in the capital city.....so lots of other tourist attractions. Good restaurants, pubs, historical buildings.....river cruises.
Likewise for Edinburgh.....lots of lovely places to eat, architecture.
Old Trafford.....well to some that is a shrine to football.
I haven't heard of many people going to Morecambe just to see the Eric Morecambe statue.
Crosby is on route to another city with lots of history and culture.

I may be wrong but I really don't think it fits into the category of the places you have cited Jen.
A statue here would probably be scrawled with graffiti in no time at all.......now maybe that sounds very negative, but I see it as being realistic.
Sorry, but that is just how it seems....unless there is more than that then we would just be throwing the money away....if we had the 75 million that is.
