Belle Vue school installed a Sculpture trail some years back, not all the pieces have survived though. My thanks to Belle Vue and especially Jane Craddock for allowing me to visit the site and record what is left.

One of the sculptures was modelled on my daughter Claire which still survives. I viewed recently when Shafali from BBC visited and wondered where did the Wale's tail go?
