The one that was on the Kings Head looked left but the one that was at the bottom of Hertford Street (is that the same one that's in Cliff's photo?) looks right? |

From Coventry Telegraph November 1940 courtesy of British Newspaper Archive. I don't recognise the building you can see, it looks like a roof top.

Annewiggy Tamworth All posts by this member | 15 of 39 Sat 15th Oct 2016 10:47am Member: Joined Jan 2013 Total posts:1840 Thanks for that Derrickarthur. Found a bit of information on t'internet. The statue was commissioned in 1934 by the late Tom Freeman who was unhappy with the sculptures in the city. He asked local sculptures the Ormerod Brothers to make it. It says the bust's first home was in a gable window at what was then a sweet shop in Bishop Street but I haven't as yet been able to find a picture of a Bishop Street shop with a gable. Although it survived the bombing as per the newspaper article the Freemans were bombed out of the shop so it was taken away by Mr Freeman's son and used it as a garden ornament in Warwick. They auctioned it off in 2007 and was bought by the Dosanjhs of the Rainbow Inn. Another article says that this was the youngest of 5 Peeping Toms. |
