So far, we have had donations from; English heritage, Graham Boxer, Patrick Neill, Robin Riley & Jenny Voce.
Due
to the theft of the bronze sculptors from Bank Hall Station, we have
decided that the replacement heads for the above Mellys will be either
resin or a stainless steel alloy with a bronze effect coating which will
have no
scrap metal value!
If we can get more funding/donations, we would also like to
place the heads
to these 'Mellys':
| Location | Type of Head | |
 Picton Road |
Tiger? | |
 Prescot Road |
Tiger? | |
 County Road |
Lion? |
