Site: Bronze cherub (1 memorial)
EN2, Silver Street
in 2013 this statue was discovered by maintenance workers in the grounds of what was at the time, the Oasis Academy Hadley in Bell Lane.
Apart from the founder, whose mark must be imprinted on the base, no one seems to know anything about it. The Council have dated it 1920s -1950s and have placed it here outside their offices.
The site where it was found has been occupied as follows: Albany School 1939 - 2009; Oasis Academy Hadley until 2013; Ark John Keats Academy to date (2021).
We don't think this is a memorial, so really we should not be interested, but we always like a mystery. If you know anything about the statue please contact us.
