Re: Why no statues in Accy?
 

would suggest a decent spot to place a statue if we EVER got one,would be directly in front of the market hall, the crib was there for many years,and its about as central as you can get.

Re: Why no statues in Accy?
 

They took the crib away and will not put it back so lets demolish the town hall as it is no use and build a statue there. :engsmil:

Re: Why no statues in Accy?
 

think its a listed building spug. ;)

Re: Why no statues in Accy?
 

fill it with concrete then the building can stay and it will then be a statue ;)

The nativity crib is still there every Christmas though isn't it?

Well at least until someone complains it's insulting to other religions.

Re: Why no statues in Accy?

It certainly does, Willow. I had forgotten about that one.

There is at least 1 statue in Warrington. It's just round the corner from my office and it's big - on a plinth. Who is it? Oliver Cromwell - warts and all!

Re: Why no statues in Accy?
 

It's no surprise there is a bust of Peel at the top of the stairs, because the entire building was built as a memorial to him prior to it becoming the town hall. Unfortunatly,it is not accessable to the public 24 hour a day. I should have been a bit clearer when I started the thread...I was referring to a statue or a bust of a person, outdoors,accessable to and viewable by the public 24/7. And that is why I think Accy may be unique - it just does not have one.

Re: Why no statues in Accy?
 

What about the figures that are on the front wall of the market hall? The picture pops up every now and then at the top of this site?

Re: Why no statues in Accy?
 

Surely those are just decoration?

Re: Why no statues in Accy?
 

Mmmm, not sure what the definition would be.

The flying rats can perch on Queen Victoria quite happily in Blackburn, and make their feelings quite clear on still having an outdated monarchy.
