G’day
Since the statue of Arthur Lowe was unveiled on June 19th 2010 many thousands of people have come and sat by the Captain. Amongst the first visitors of 2014 were the Davies family on a cold January 1st. The Davies family were on holiday from their farm 100 miles or so from Perth in Western Australia.
Why not send us your pictures of the statue, we may include some in the next issue of the Walmington Echo.
