Grumpy drawers is regally sat on the Boulevard, but the Grand Old Man is sited outside King George's Hall, on Northgate. Arm outstretched, providing a handy perch for the flying rats.
My own favourite statue in Blackburn is Flora, in Corporation Park. Which my assorted followers of misfits, aesthestes, and social outcasts, used to adorn with flowers every school lunchtime, weather permitting.
It is odd that Accrington has so many fine public buildings, but no statues, commissioned with money made in t'mill.
