Reviews of Public Art - The Mermaids
T. L.There is already a listing for this structure (under "Public Art - The Mermaids": The Mermaids being it's correct name) at JVM4+GQ Leicester which was in existence before this incorrect and bizarrely named listing was created by someone who clearly hadn't bothered to check Google Maps for this location properly nor actually look at the information plaques in place at this structure!
(True, it is big but it's neither made of stone - it's brick and terracotta - nor a circle - a partial semicircle of decorated terracotta and the rest is brick - so only one third correct as described thus very poor observation by the person who created this listing).
Strangely maps keeps refusing to remove this duplicate listing whenever I put it forward as a duplicate!!!
That worries me as to the proclaimed accuracy of Google maps' information!!!
Update: Google Maps removed the original listing (not this duplicate which was created as "The Big Stone Hole"!) losing all the information I'd put in there about it's historical background!! I've changed the heading to the more accurate one.
R. H.These BAS relief panels of 'MERMAIDS' were made in 1900 at the ROYAL DOULTON Lambeth potteries by WILLIAM J. NEATBY, who was head potter in the terracotta department there from 1890 to 1907. They originally adorned the main entrance to the LEICESTER WHOLESALE MARKET on Halford Street until that building was demolished in 1972, (See Black & White photo). They were re-erected at this site on the base of a defunct bridge pier, part of the OLD GREAT CENTRAL RAILWAY, a victim of the 1960's Beeching cuts, in the spring of 1980. The old GCR Station has since been renovated, please take a look at Great Central St.
D. C.This place wasn't on the map so i added it.
