25 Years Ago - April 8, 1983

A NEW statue, the Dryad and Boer, was to be unveiled next month near the main Post Office in Bromsgrove by Miss United Kingdom Della Dolen. It would mark the pedestrianisation of High Street. The statue was made from an original sculptured by Louis Weingartner who worked for the Bromsgrove Guild in 1892. The modern version was made and presented to the town by Terry Simons a local businessman using original moulds.
