Both these pieces are imaginative and classy, I would love to see similar sculptures in Hyndburn...........NOT abstract lumps
The statue of the mother and child created uproar at the time...as all good art should, but now it appears to be much loved.

Don't forget they also have Queen Victoria as well, whilst we here have...absolutely nothing!
