Re: Mesnes park
The restoration work was done by a local company - Lost Art Limited.
I’ve only just seen this charity calendar, sorry I missed it!
The wintry scene above would be fantastic for December 2022.

Delighted to see this photo of the replica Coalbrookdale Fountain that we produced and installed in Mesnes Park, Wigan being included in a calendar of images of Lockdown Wigan. Wonderful that it has also helped raise money to support The Samaritans and has now sold out!

Re: Mesnes park
The Boer War statue was removed by the time I used to visit as a lad. I believe it ended up in a garden somewhere. But I do remember the empty plinth it used to stand on. It has been replaced by another statue now I think?
There was an article in Past Forward about this... I will hunt it out later.
EDIT:- It is in this issue... No.26

I think I can see it, very vaguely, Lolly.
A replacement, rather less warlike, was erected in 2013. (www.warmemorialsonline.org.uk)
… unveiled by the Friends of the Boer War Memorial, Dec 2013 (www.friendsofmesnespark.co.uk)
