SJ6088 : Golden Gates and Town Hall

These gates were originally made as a gift for Queen Victoria for Sandringham but when she went to inspect them prior to accepting them she was not amused to find them next to a statue of Oliver Cromwell! SJ6087 : Statue of Oliver Cromwell in the grounds of The Academy
She cancelled the order and the gates and statue were bought by Warrington Council!
