Ok then, where's this handsome chap? More importantly, anyone know anything about the diabolical horns and Mr Spock ears?

The features aren't smooth enough for it to be an Old Etonian Brian.

that was done before his makeover.
Terry, the horns and ears are usual adornments for grotesques, but this looks as though a local character has been assigned them for some reason. I don't know where this sculpture is, but will take a stab at Ladywell, above the fire station perhaps?

Not Ladywell but certainly town centre Sid.

Strangely I got an old picture at a bootfair with no idea where it was, a bit of research and it turned out to be this building which was formerly the Central Commercial Hotel and Britchers Ladies Outfitters :)
Been nice knowing you :)

Sorry I have no idea where it is but the carving is most likely to be that of Pan (he does look rather devil like) here's one I found in Nottingham last month.
Hmm, can't work out whether that is Milk, Frying or Sauce Pan Jeane, any clues?

Is that the same as the Met Bars Howard? If so, no.
