It would have looked better bringing back the nymph lampholders instead of this monstrosity
The Nymphs are an excellent example of what many people think of as art.
Beats a load of old firewood any day,the sooner this rubbish leaves the better.

Some years ago the arty lobby got a pretty ugly "statue" placed in Birmingham . Resembling Communistic art it was disliked my most normal people.

Fortunately, this being a modern "statue", it was made in plastic, so burnt very well

At least the artist cast those shapes so it is an original piece of artwork. It fits right in with the brutalist concrete architecture of the 60s.
By the way, the bugs bunny cut out is not part of the design and must have been added by a wag.
