This statue is by local artist Ailsa Magnus. It shows a Terry's employee holding a chocolate orange (a confectionery produced locally for many years), a shopper who represents commerce, and a child, a reference to the future. Members of the local community, including the children at the school featured on the blog here were invited to write down a short phrase, some of which are engraved around the base of the statue. They include:
What's the time?
The past has gone
Why?
Do you like cheese?
Why did my best friend move?
Ban broccoli
What would would you have chosen to write? That's a question by the way not another phrase!
