​The Queen Vic

Picture
Whether your a Royalist or a Republican, this statue was bought with Wakefield money, raised by our ancestors. 
Let it stand as a testament to them if nothing else 

In her hay day....

Banished into the Wilderness...

​What can I say.... this should never have happened.  She could have stayed within the newly designed Bullring
PS.  There is nothing wrong with Thornes and the Park, its simply a case that the statue belongs in town

The 1980s....  Things, they are a changing.
