At the junction of Dill Hall Lane with Whalley Road, across from The Greyhound, there used to be a Working Men's Club - I forget the name. it is closed now and appears to have been undergoing renovation for the last two years. It occurred to me to wonder what happend to the portrait bust which used to stand outside. If I remember rightly it was a portrait of Edward VII. If I am right it was the only public sculpture of monarch in the borough. It would be a great pity if it has been lost. Anyone have any ideas as to its fate?
